A Boy Named Alice?
I saw The Two Towers on November 9, 2017 and there is a scene where Aragorn talks to a Rohan boy who had been given a sword and and armor to help defend Helm's deep. The boy says he is _____, son of ____. I couldn't hear the names he said very well.
With my poor hearing it sounded like the boy said his name was Alice. I know that the Rohan people didn't use modern English names and Alice is a female name, so I thought that he simply has a name that sounds a bit like Alice.
The full cast list in IMDB lists Calum Gittins as Haleth. Calum Gittins is the son of Paul Gittins and screenwriter Philippa Boyens and was born July 16, 1986. Thus he turned 13 and 14 in 1999 and 2000, the years that the Lord of the Rings movies were filmed and would have somewhere between 12 and 14 when his scenes were filmed.
Wikipedia says the boy, a character invented for the movies, is Haleth son of Hama.

Like most Elves and good Men, the people of Rohan used names which had been used for centuries or millennia previously, and the name of Haleth seemed familiar to me. The scriptwriters got the name Haleth from two canonical characters in the books, Haleth (killed Third Age 2758, 261 years before The Two Towers), elder son of King Helm Hammerhand of Rohan (killed 2759), and Haleth, great warrior and chieftain who led the Second House of the Edain through terrible dangers to their new homeland in the First Age - almost seven thousand years before the Two Towers.
The boy Haleth could have been proud, if he knew, to share his name with a brave prince who lived centuries earlier and with a great warrior and leader in Beleriand in the First Age - except that the great Haleth in the First Age was a woman, which he might have found embarrassing.
So maybe mishearing Haleth's name as Alice was not as misleading as it seemed at first!
