My friend's little sister has this name and I think that her pronunciation is beautiful, but think that most people would pronounce it differently.

How would you pronounce it?

Like Alice but with 'shia'. Nice. But complicated if it would get pronounced diff from what you want. Alice is a beautiful and simple name.

Al-iss-ee-er

It's Al-iss-ee-er.

I hate the other pronounciations for that spelling tbh. Alesha or Alecia are how I would spell the other pronounciations.

i am Alicia, and I pronounce it Ah - liss - ee - ah. Ah - leash - ah is spelt Alisha, and is a different name.

I know two, one is Alissia and the other is Aleesha. I prefer Alissia.
