Aleksandra or Alicja or Zuzanna?

[VivianneW]

Aleksandra or Alicja or Zuzanna? for our baby daughter.

[sonlypuppyfat]

Are these names from your culture

[VivianneW]

Yes from Poland.

[GRW]

I love Zuzanna, with Zuza for short. Not sure how you would pronounce Alicja.

[Rockaby]

All lovely!

1. Aleksandra (love this - very strong and elegant with lots of nickname potential)
   
2. Alisja (very pretty)
   
3. Zuzanna (pretty, but not as nice as the other two to me)
   
   I realise this is the order you wrote them in, but it is also my order of preference .

[Emmageddon]

All of them are very pretty names, but my favourite is Zuzanna.

[n0ne]

All lovely names but if you live in the UK, Alicja will probably be pronounced wrong by most people. Aleksandra will be the easiest for non-Polish speakers, followed by Zuzanna. I think I like Zuzanna best.

[EssentialHummus]

I like all three actually .

[YouMeddlingKids]

All lovely... Sorry that's not very helpful! I'd maybe go for alisja (I'm assuming it's pronounced alees-ya?)

[KnockMeDown]

They are all very lovely names, but I think you should consider that if you go for Zuzanna, and then potentially shorten to Zuzia, this doesn't sound as good in English. Aleksandra is my favourite, however.

[Rockaby]

I just assumed Alicja was similar to Alicia. I'm probably wrong in that assumption!

How is it pronounced op?

[SovietKitsch]

Zuzanna is my favourite, but I like Alicja a lot too.

[Pemba]

I knew a Polish Alicja years ago and I thought it was pronounced the same as the English version of Alicia (Al-iss-ee-ya, or Al-iss-ya). Reason I'm not sure is she was always known as Ala (short version in Poland I presume). It's a pretty name. Zuzanna is lovely too. Aleksandra would be my third choice, but still nice.

[EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans]

All lovely.

[TrinityForce]

The english Alicia is pronounced Al-ee-sha, surely?

Zuzanna is beautiful

[PotterH]

No, Alicia is Al-ee-see-ah?? Surely??

[Pemba]

Nope, Al-ee-sha pronunciation is American, that has caught on here in recent years.

[MongerTruffle]

I like Zuzanna. If you choose that name would she use the diminutive Zuzia in informal contexts?

[KnockMeDown]

Alicja is pronounced Ali-tz-ya.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Zuzanna, lovely !

[Jooni]

Love Zuzanna and Zuzia!

[Sophronia]

I like Aleksandra and Zuzanna

[SuperBeagle]

I love Aleksandra with this spelling.

Other Polish names I love are Magdalena, Katarzyna or just Kasia, and Zosia.

[crapfatbanana]

Aleksandra looks much harsher than the Alexandra spelling, but it is a ballsy name and I like that.

Alicja- I like this. Not when it has the American 'eesha' sound at the end. Al-itz-ya is very nice.

Zuzanna. This is lovely.

I like Magdalena/Magda and Kasia too.

I went on a school exchange to Bydgoszcz when I was 18 and stayed with a girl called Joanna who went by Asia - which I really liked too.

[mum2be2boys]

I like all three! In order of preference I'd choose Alicja, Aleksandra then Zuzanna.

[weebarra]

I like them all. Would Aleksandra be Ola or Alex? I know one of each.
