I've heard talk about the Decepticon Alice, and what her real (Decepticon) name would be. Alice could be her real name I guess, but most likely it's a human name from her alt mode (an Alice in Wonderland animatronic).
I figure that Hasbro likes to reestablish obscure old TF names, right? So I picked a couple completely at random (okay, they were suggestions from another thread as possible names from another board) that you can vote fo... or suggest your own. Remember that most TF names are inspired by their personality, abilities or alt mode, so names which describe those will be looked on favorably.

An evil Transformer characterized solely by their need to smooch? There's only one option.
Scylla.
The tentacle hair seems to fit well, and rearranging the letters "Scylla" gets you close enough to "Alice"

Alice.

None of those options are particularly Pretendery.
If I was to choose a name that already exists -- rather than thinking up a new one -- I'd choose Slog or Bristleback or Carnivac or Snarler or possibly Scowl.
Slog or Carnivac are my first choices.
--Boltax.
(Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like Bristleback.)

Actually Beastbox was an interrogator, and worked for Soundwave. It fits.
I think Randy is actually Pretender inspired. Randy is also pronounced Landy. His friend in Beast Wars Second is Diver. Beast Wars Seconbd Randy and Diver always hit me as a homage to Masterforce Landmine and Diver. Landy short for Landmine. Maybe I just was seeing things that weren't there though.

Alice.
I don't think she's known life outside of being a human.

Scylla makes sense. I tend to think she'd have some kind of numeric designation or something.

Haha...Erector...I choose that one. I don't know about the personality of the old "Erector" but the name is sure fitting.

Scylla works perfectly.
She was a danger to Sam in both of forms, it's a "human derived" name adopted for a Transformer, plus the whole BW Scylla.

There is alway the possibility that Alice is a male Transformer who scanned a female form. So if this is the case tha classic G1 TV show name Decept-i-tran fits.

Her robot form definitely didn't look masculine.

What is masculine or femenine to a alien robot? Plus maybe he/she was only half in full robot mode when killed?

Definitely looks more female then male to me.

I'd just call her Stiletto - feminine, dangerous...I'll admit she used no bladed weapons, but I still like the name.

Siren, but obviously like the mythological man-eating monster in this particular case, not like a police siren. Skip the lame puns and all that junk, and go for something more like her actual function in the movie.

Why not "Alice"? She wouldn't be the first Transformer to take on a less-Cybertronish name upon adapting a new form.

Well, considering that he fully admitted to glomming them from another board, where conceivably others suggested them because they thought the names were funny... I'd say that's a highly debatable matter of opinion.
