Love Alicia as al-i-see-ya
Hate the pronunciation Alesha

Is Alissia an acceptable spelling?

I would just go with Alicia. In my experience the Ah-liss-ia pronunciation is the standard one in the UK. Canada and the US tend to pronounce it Ah-lee-sha, so if you're not over there or planning to move there, the Alicia spelling is fine.

A-leeee-th-ia. But only because I've been watching a Spanish thriller and it's the name of one of the main characters.

I had a student called Alicia, lovely girl, corrected me when I pronounced her name "Alesha" and there, problem solved.
