To elaborate on what's already been said, "Alice" cannot be written/spoken in the Japanese language. The necessary combinations of sounds simply do not exist in Japanese, the same way the Japanese "r/l" and Chinese "p/b" sounds do not exist in English. "Arisu" is the closest thing you can get.


Yeah, I know it can't be pronounced by the average Japanese person, but I still maintain that if they wanted to name her that it would be 'Alice' (roman letters) on her birth certificate. ... I'm probably just being stubborn though.
