My friend's little sister has this name and I think that her pronunciation is beautiful, but think that most people would pronounce it differently.

How would you pronounce it?

DuelingFanjo · 20/11/2010 21:18

al-ee-she-ah

chipmonkey · 20/11/2010 21:23

I know two, one is Alissia and the other is Aleesha. I prefer Alissia.

BrandyButterPie · 20/11/2010 21:24

i am Alicia, and I pronounce it Ah - liss - ee - ah. Ah - leash - ah is spelt Alisha, and is a different name.

taintedpaint · 20/11/2010 21:25

It's Al-iss-ee-er.

I hate the other pronounciations for that spelling tbh. Alesha or Alecia are how I would spell the other pronounciations.

pranma · 20/11/2010 21:29

Al-iss-ee-er

nonanny · 20/11/2010 21:31

Like Alice but with 'shia'. Nice. But complicated if it would get pronounced diff from what you want. Alice is a beautiful and simple name.

katiepotatie · 20/11/2010 21:32

Al-iss-ia

randomimposter · 20/11/2010 21:34

what katie said..

NoahAndTheWhale · 20/11/2010 21:36

I would pronounce it A-leece-ee-a. But have met people who pronounce it Alisha or Aleesha

NoahAndTheWhale · 20/11/2010 21:36

I prefer Alice though :)
