[Opinions] Re: Alys
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Of course there were some girls named Alys in the past, even in the Middle Ages which doesn't change the fact that it looks misspelled to me. I mean yeah it has some history but even 400 years back there were people who couldn't spell (even more than now, I guess) or parents who were just being creative so it doesn't really mean anything,

It's the Welsh form, Lily. And I always think of Alys Pearsall Smith.
I think Alyssa is trendy (for Alicia) but not necessarily Alys for Alice.
