Alice Louisa sounds much better than Alice Cecilia, with all those hissy c sounds. In general, I'd prefer either Louise or Eloise; but the rhythm is important.

I'm fond of Cecilia too, and of the song ... a friend of mine had a car which was constantly breaking down and so he called it Cecilia. But for a human child it's long, and for the human race it's hard to spell for some reason: I just couldn't face Cecelia. So, if I wanted it for use rather than in the mn slot, I'd probably chicken out and use Cecily.
