It's really nice, I know an Italian Alessia and I think it's an unusual name 😊

ClubTropicanaDrinks · 27/04/2016 11:46

I worked with an Alessia (Italian) and she was lovely so it's a yes from me!

LemonBreeland · 27/04/2016 11:46

I like it. I know a 3 year old Alessia. Her parents are italian though.

Blackpoollassy · 27/04/2016 11:48

I like Alissa with the nn Lissie - So maybe Lessie would be her nn?

OneMagnumisneverenough · 27/04/2016 12:48

I know one, also of Italian extraction. Known as Messy - it suits her.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 27/04/2016 12:48

Lovely name, esp if you have the Italian connection. Alessandra is lovely too.

LadyAntonella · 27/04/2016 13:09

I like it and love the nn Ally for a girl. Also Less or Lessie maybe.

LadyAntonella · 27/04/2016 13:10

I love TheGirl's suggestion of Alessandra too. Gorgeous.

Blackpoollassy · 27/04/2016 13:17

Was also thinking of Alessandra but wondered if it was too much of a tongue-twister to the British tongue!

Hmmm I don't think Alessandra is a tongue twister. It trips off the tongue quite easily (easier than a lot of traditionally British names IMHO). I guess it depends on where you live (wouldn't be Blackpool by any chance)? Grin

Sophronia · 27/04/2016 14:02

I like it a lot, and love Alessandra.

Blackpoollassy · 27/04/2016 14:04

Now that would be too obvious Antonella Wink (also another great Italian name BTW)

Why thank you! Smile

Blackpoollassy · 28/04/2016 10:06

So, just found out we are indeed having a girl! So can search for Italian names in earnest now!

I like Luisa and Alessandra Smile

julfin · 29/04/2016 07:16

I love Caterina, Luisa and Elisa ( and the rest are nice too).

Only problem with Luisa is that you'll constantly have to tell people "it's without an O".
