@demize @AmyZenunim Also baffled that there are people in a primarily English speaking nation who somehow haven't encountered it, either by pop culture or just...being a really popular name?
I'm guessing it's much less common in Canada and the US? In the UK I'm pretty sure it's been in the top 100 for girls name the entire time I've been alive and at several points been top 25.
Like, it's never reached the heights of Emily, Sophie, Rebecca, Amy, Lucy...but Alice is still a very "you probably vaguely knew of 2 or 3 of them at school" name to me ^_^;
