Alyssia or Elysia??

Or neither 😂

I really can’t decide if it is just too fancy and just go for Alyssa or Elisa (so no ‘ia’ sound at the end)

My brains pickled Confused

Alyssia is better than Elysia - although I think Alyssa is better than both!

Alyssia is ok, I don't really like Elysia. I know an Elisa and she pronounces it eh-leesa, not eh-lissa.

olivio I just don’t like the look of it and do think quite a few people pronounce Alicia as Aleesha, which I really dislike

I know an Elyssia so would lean more towards that spelling.

People still call her Aleesha, fairly frequently.

Why not Alicia?

Sorry neither. They just seemed contrived to me.

Alyssa or Alicia

Alicia or Alessia are the spellings I'm more familiar with (but unfortunately some people will pronounce it 'Aleesha' if you use the first one. If you want the y in it, I'd go for Alyssa.

I prefer Alyssa but out of the 2 Alyssia
