How many little girls called Alicia do you know?

I wanted Electra really, but it sounds like a power tool next to my surname (rhymes with "trimmer"). So Alicia is my next best, but I would still err towards more unusual names.
Thanks!

I like Elektra though. It's a very pretty name.

I know an Alicia, an Alisha and an Alesha. Oh, and an Alyssia . I like it. It's fairly common, but nice.

Electra is revolting.

DD's friend is called Alicia, she is 13.

It's a pretty name. Reminds me of the naughty trickster Alicia Johns in Malory Towers.

I know three, I am in Bristol

I don't know any Alicias. I think it's pretty.

Alicia is lovely. I don't know any. I know an Alissa and an Alice (and have an internal yen for a tiny brunette Alison) but Alicia is great.

DD2 has a girl in her class called Elysia, but it is pronounced the same as Alicia.

I don't like Electra, sorry, so think Alicia is a much better alternative

No girls called Alicia in DD's all girl's school. None in my class at school either (TA in a Y1 class)

None .. it is a pretty name - I like it. I have heard of a few people using Alyssa which is more American but I prefer Alicia to be honest.
