@Lady does it matter that alice and alex are etymologically unrelated
@alyssa no although i always forget that alice ∶ adelaide ∷ aline ∶ adeline
@alyssa not etymologically (elaine < helen)
due to the rarity of adeline as a name in the english‐speaking world, people do however sometimes conflate aline with eileen (< eibhlín < aveline < avila)
due to similarity in pronunciation, eileen is sometimes also considered an irish form of helen, so you could probably say aline ~ eileen ~ elaine
