Alecia or Alexia

[sparkleshine]

As we are ttc I'm thinking of names already. Some have reacted negatively to the name Danielle but I also love the names Alecia and Alexia

Also would you pronounce Alecia like Alee-sha or
Alees-eya?

Thanks x

Isn't it spelt Alicia (A-li-cee-ya or Al-ee-cha) or Alesha (Al-ee-sha) ?

Alexia

I have a friend with a Alexia and one with a Alecia pronounced a-less-ee-a. I have known Alecia for two years and I am just getting to grips with her name. For some reason I find it difficult to pronounce. It stops me interacting with her as I am never sure how to say it. I like unusual ames generally, but I think it's important that people know how to say them.

I like Alexia as it can be shortened to Lexi

Lexi is good. I once knew a girl called Alethia.

Oh thanks for that Cheesypineapple kinda puts me off now.
I love Lexi as a nn though. I guess it works alone.
Not keen on Alexandra to shorten it from. Any others it can come from?
Not thought of it spelt Alicia but it looks better. (thought of it from a girl at my old school)

Thanks x

I like Alexandra and Alexa (no "i")

what's wrong with Alexandra? It's a real name, unlike the others! (biased)

I like Alix - it's an old form of Alice.
Wonder if people will think it's some kind of 'creative' spelling though.

I'd prefer Alicia or Alexa - Alecia and Alexia look a little bit made up to me...

I did know an Alessia (Italian name) if you like the sound of that? Pronounced how it looks.

I have heard Alicia pronounced both Aleesha and Alissia, so it depends on your preference.

I prefer Alicia, Lexie and Alexa over Alexandra as the latter will often end us as Alex...

Wow, that's an interesting meaning... I prefer this one

I'm usually referred to as Lexi or Lex by friends

There's nothing wrong with Alexandra. I like the name but my cousin has called her daughter that with nn Alex so can't use it. Well don't want to. So was thinking of a name simliar but different.

So far I love, Alicia, Alexa, Lexi or Lexie

Alexia or Alexa I would go for instead of Alicia, definitely! :)

Alicia (a-liss-ee-a) or Alice, or Alexandra, or Alexa

Would avoid anything that could be screeched "Aleeeeeeesha!!!"

Rather like Alexa, like the model/it girl Alexa Chung.

Alicia like, but only with the spelling Alicia. Love the shortening Ali.

Alexia love, and especially love the shortening Lexi

I would pronounce Alecia "A-leh-ssia" however prefer Alexia, Alexa, Alexandra or Alexis (me!)

I like both Alicia and Lexi.

I would pronounce Alicia as Al-iss-ia

If I wanted Al-eesha I would spell it as Alysha, a girl I went to school with spelt it that way.

Both really lovely names :)

Much prefer Alexa, Alexia, et. al
