Hi all,

My husband and I are trying to choose baby names as we haven't come up with many options and LO is due next week. My husband's top girls name, which I'm also quite keen on, is Alicia, which we both pronounce as A-Liss-ee-a. However it has dawned on me that some might pronounce it A-lee-sha. Would be great to get some outsider opinions on how others would pronounce it. Thanks in advance!

Same as you OP.

I have only known Alicias pronounced a-liss-ee-a.

But then Felicia isn't pronounced fe-luss-ee-a

I'd choose the pronunciation you prefer and then correct people if they say the other. I can't see it being a big problem.

Congratulations

Same as I love Venice above.

I'd assume Aleesha but I know it can be pronounced both ways so I'd be unsure.

A-liss-ee-a
