Lilah and Alice

Lilah


-meaning: you are mine
-origin: Hebrew (also considered Persian on some sites)
-potential nicknames: Lil, Lily

This name is short and sweet without being too plain. It was most popular around the 1920s and is around 400 on the popularity lists today. It's just above the 200s spelled as Lila.  Lilah is a great name for an older woman, but has Lily as a great nickname for a little girl.
 
Alice


-meaning: noble one
-origin: English
-potential nicknames: Aly, Lissy

I love, love, love the name Alice. I immediately think of an adorable, curious little girl. The inspiration comes from the novel The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor, in which Alice is really Alyss. It is a retelling of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. This name is classic, but remains fairly low on the popularity lists. It would be a beautiful name for a girl or a woman.
