Looking for suggestions to replace [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. My friends are expecting a girl and love the name, but their surname starts with ‘Sh’ so the full name “[name_f]Alice[/name_f] Sh…” Sounds a bit clumsy. I suggested [name_f]Macy[/name_f] and was swiftly rebutted…
So nothing with an s/sh sound at/near the end. There are so many names that feel similar to [name_f]Alice[/name_f], maybe ask them about other favourites/what they like about [name_f]Alice[/name_f], so we can make more precise suggestions.
Still, a few to start with:
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]/[name_f]Flora[/name_f]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]/[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]/[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
I could go on and on and on…
You could try something like [name_f]Alison[/name_f]? I think you could even keep [name_f]Alice[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Alison[/name_f] if you wanted.
If they like the sounds of [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - the A, L, and S sounds:
[name_f]Alisa[/name_f] - the a at the end breaks up the s and the sh
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] - same thing
[name_f]Alison[/name_f] - as suggested above 
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ailsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
The same vintage but not flouncy or lacy feel … trying to stop myself from repeating everything opheliaflora’s list because I agree with them all!
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] / [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], especially with a vintage-y nickname like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or [name_f]Betsy[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
Lots if repeats here:
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Norah[/name_f]
I suggest [name_f]Alessia[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] (in [name_f]England[/name_f] they pronounce it A-lee-cee-ya, if I’m not mistaken instead of [name_f]Aleesha[/name_f] is it is in the US), [name_f]Aline[/name_f], [name_f]Alina[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f] or [name_f]Hester[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Celine[/name_f].
