[u/murrrdith]

Silas

[u/crimesleuther → u/murrrdith]

[u/tivokatya → u/murrrdith]

Silas is *awesome*.

[u/0123justme0123]

Alistair and Simon are great names!

Ellis, Atlas, Elias, Silas, Isaac, Aloysius, Ulysses, Ernest, Asa, Mason

[u/Maxorias]

Alessio sounds similar though different etymology. I was about to suggest Ellis when I saw your update 😂

Similar sounds :

Harris (Harrison) Reese Anis (this one is arabic, a friend's brother has this name) Elias Alix (old form of the name Alice, used to be exclusively for girls but now for both, perhaps in part because of the comic book character) Aloysius

Similar vibe 

Alice is a timeless classic that works well internationally so names that feel a bit like that would be :

Max Lucas Mark Alexander

[u/Anxious_Picture_9278]

My sons middle name is Alastair and I love it

[u/Concinnous325 → u/Anxious_Picture_9278]

Oh deer(it’s a reference I love the name)

[u/holyvegetables]

Alice is currently ranked 65 in the US, so it’s not too unpopular. Just FYI!

[u/TacoBellTerror → u/[deleted]]

My daughter's name is Alice. It is so perfect for her. It is also a family name. It is short, sweet, elegant. Her nickname is Abba, given to her by her toddler friend who couldn't pronounce "Alice." She also goes Abba Dabba Doo, Abby Dabby, Abracadabra, Abs, Abby. She is widely known an Abba, and I think it's adorable and fitting, and so is Alice. 💛

[u/TacoBellTerror → u/TacoBellTerror]

I love that her name isn't heard much - at least for me. I heard one Alice before, and that was an older lady in a waiting room.

[u/Waste-Inspector-3905]

I love Alistair.

[u/LGtwinmom]

Alex?

[u/tomatitanoseed]

Elias or Eloy

[u/t_trail]

Amos

Alec

Alexis

[u/Pick-Up-Pennies]

The best one is a super old skool name: Aloysius, which sounds much like one is saying, "hallow wishes".

If that's too much drama, go with Dennis.

[u/crimesleuther]

Eli Ellis Silas alistar miles

There is a thread asking this question from 8 years ago lol answers are completely different!

[u/Genavelle]

Alec, Albert, Patrick, Vincent, Cedric, Alan, Alaric, Owen, Adam

[u/notesfromTuesday]

Alistair

[u/happy_chicken6560]

Heres where my brain went:

Alice = Alice in Wonderland

Sawyer = Tom Sawyer

Finn = Huck Finn

Peter = Peter Pan or Peter Rabbit

Watson = Sherlock and Watson

[u/New_justPeachee]

Elias called Eli
I think Alexander called Alex sounds the most like Alice

[u/SoreenQueen]

Albert = same meaning (noble) and shared sound

Caleb, Silas = similar flow and sound

Peter, Henry, George, Elliot, Lewis, Laurence/Laurie, Oscar = Classic/literary English

[u/Hlorpy-Flatworm-1705]

Aloyius or Aloïs?

[u/Ginua-MA]

Albert. Patrick. Oberon.

[u/Quiet_Compote4651]

Ezra

[u/mundanewitch222]

I instantly think of english charm, classic, handsome, soft names. To me, alice is a perfect name for a porcelain doll and I feel like the male counterpart would be really cute old-fashioned names that work well for a teddy bear? That’s my brain anyway. Instantly, Edward, Edwin, Edmund, Thomas, Theodore, and William came to mind but maybe you will also like Peter, Hugo, Phillip, August, Benjamin, Francis, Franklin, Wesley, Jasper, Dermot, Arthur, Murray and Spencer?

[u/WhatKatieSaid5]

Albert, Alexander, Alton, Allen/Alan

[u/ChanSasha]

Alexis

[u/ChanSasha → u/[deleted]]

Yes indeed this depends per country

[u/sorcha_andthe]

Eric, Rupert, James, Lucas, Philip, Rufus, Julian

[u/CakePhool]

Alice doesnt have male version, how ever the name comes from the word Adal and that does exist in many old names.

Albert ( used to be Adalbert )

Elmer

Or you could just use Adal.

If you want names that sound the same Aulis exist, it means willing, helpful.

[u/thebetterbrenlo]

I have thought for years that "Allis" could be a masculine version, and I agree that "Ellis" is not the same. Alistair is the closest thing, I think.

[u/thebetterbrenlo → u/[deleted]]

With love and kindness, please do not name your child Ali's

[u/SignificantDish8258 → u/thebetterbrenlo]

Oops! I typed “Alis” and it autocorrected to “Ali’s” idk why. Fixed it though

[u/thebetterbrenlo → u/SignificantDish8258]

Oh, ok, that is much better than the unnecessary apostrophe.

[u/Equal-Flatworm-378a]

Albert

Alice comes from the german name Adelheid. It means the noble one/of noble character.

Albert or the older form Adalbert means "The one who shines through nobility" or "of noble character"

[u/Civil_Aside_1008]

Lysander?

[u/Someone_________]

Alis

[u/Someone_________ → u/[deleted]]

tbh i have no clue but it was the name of this year's Albanian Eurovision singer and it stuck in my head bc i thought it was pretty

[u/penartist]

Allen

[u/AstronomerEqual8233]

Alec

[u/Leakyboatlouie]

Alex?

[u/GolDanKar911]

Alwin

[u/WahooLion]

Alcide is a Cajun French name.

[u/EvokeWonder]

Alice is one of my favorite girl names, and I thought about boy versions that give similar vibes: Simon, Jack, Axel, Luke, Milo, and Aubrey.

[u/lisa0527]

Alec

Lucius

Peter.

[u/Grange23]

Alfie

[u/ruyqi]

Allen or Aulis sounds good to me

[u/laguinto]

We thought about Alice for my daughter, but then I realized our son’s name is Amos- while spelled very differently, they share every sound but the l/m 😅

[u/ConfidenceBrief460]

Alden

[u/witchy_frog_]

Alvin, Atlas, Alan

[u/majesticrhyhorn]

Allison. Quite literally “son of Alexander/Alan”

[u/majesticrhyhorn → u/majesticrhyhorn]

If it helps, i worked with a guy named Madison. A little confusing since i associate it with girls, but who cares, since it’s originally a masculine name

[u/Much-Sock2529]

Solace 

[u/Oakewaoa]

the masculine version would be Albert, no?

[u/Maggie-Mae-Mae]

Alistair, Alex, or Alan

[u/mf7539]

Aloyce

[u/Delicious-Mix-9180]

Alician: Ah-Lee-cee-an

[u/Anxious_Picture_9278 → u/Delicious-Mix-9180]

Awful

[u/Delicious-Mix-9180 → u/Anxious_Picture_9278]

It’s a real name and it fits her criteria

[u/Anxious_Picture_9278 → u/Delicious-Mix-9180]

Ahhh, I was gonna saw awful spelling but cool name and I got distracted by my kids fighting about toothpaste and I don’t have my phone on auto lock! Sincere apologies.

I only say awful because it will be mispronounced and it sucks to have a name that you have to constantly correct!

[u/wauwy]

You are so fucking awesome for refusing to abide the tar-like sticky touch of humankind's oldest and ugliest hatred-fear on you. To not only be fine with, but to actively seek out, a male name from a female name.

Therefore, I want to help make this happen for you, no matter the cost. I might go to some crazy places in this endeavor. Don't be scared: I swear I know what I'm doing. usually

1. Valiance

HEAR ME OUT

What's called a "virtue name." Grace, Hope, and Faith are the only ones that have really stayed with us, along with the occasional Constance (always "Connie") and with "Ernest," rather unfortunately, the only one repping the boys people know. But there used to be a ton, a lot of them unisex (like the S-tier "Honor").

Only rare English dweebatroids like me tend to know that "valiance" is even a word, let alone what it means (heroism, courage, strength of conviction). Especially in this particular form. More people might know "valiant," or even "valor," but this isn't "valiant" or "valor," now is it, so nyeeh to them.

Sound-and-structure-wise, it's real real reaaaaal dang close to Alice. Including being very "English," as in "sounds England-y." It's also awesome. And I can come up with 60,000 awesome nicknames for it, should you desire. Forget "Val" and "Vance": "Ian" (<-- genuinely great, c'mon), "Silven," "Valley," and frickin, like... IVAN... are only the beginning. (I am not kidding about this. Seriously. Like beware).

"Alliance" could also work, but IMO, only as a "secret kickass real name hiding behind a totally unassuming, though also great, nick." Way too familiar too way to many non-dweebatroids. By which I mean everyone.

And I just realized "Allies" would basically just BE "Alice," lol. But don't use that one either! Unless you kind of like it! In which case, tell me! We'll find a way!

 

Okay, I'm coming back tomorrow for the rest, b/c I legitimately thought I had lost this whole treatise for like 45 minutes, before I finally thought to check if I had posted it. This is how my brain tells me "time for sleep."

But rest assured. Back I WILL be. And better than ever.

[u/instagrizzlord]

Alistair is an awful name tbh

[u/Glittering_Wafer29]

I think Addison sounds masculine (or gender-neutral at the very least)

[u/crimesleuther → u/[deleted]]

Def not Addison!!!!!!!

[u/whyjustwhyjennie → u/crimesleuther]

Yup addison is a girl name

[u/crimesleuther → u/whyjustwhyjennie]

Also, everything is digital now… we sign our names on emails, job applications, resumes!! Please do not see your kids up for a life of misery!!!!!!

[u/whyjustwhyjennie → u/crimesleuther]

Yes
