Is changing spelling to fit a theme an unforgivable curse?

Question

My Special Gentleman and I are discussing having a little one together, and we already have 3 daughters from previous marriages (2 daughters for him, 1 for me, if it matters).  Our girls' names have one thing in common, they all have the letter "y" in them.  We both love the name Alice, and I have been wondering if changing it to "Alyce" just to go along with the other girls would be cute or stupid?  Thoughts?

Alyce is beautiful and unique, I like it. But, on the flip-side, people will always spell her name wrong and the like:/. 
But it's very pretty.

No. Think it is cute! But what if it is a boy? It doesn't sound like its a theme that everyone will be going crazy saying you did because it is subtle. In general the alyce spelling is unique!

No I think it looks okay. If really can't decide, draw the spelling out of a hat. That's what I do. Alice (or Alyce) is a great name btw!

Alys is an accepted, legitimate spelling, I think it's Welsh. I know a couple of Alys-s though, so I think it's absolutely fine. 
Alyce is a bit iffy though. 
I think it's cute when siblings match, but they don't match at all, if you get me.

I think it's stupid to deliberately make the names match. Just use Alice since you both love it
