Alyessia? Is the 'y' silent?

Yes as they are both pronounced the same, just spelt differently X

Can't see the point of version 2.

Is it pronounced the same as Alicia?

Fairuza · 02/06/2016 20:49

It's pronounced as written Fettuccine (or at least Alessia is, have never seen Alyessia!).

I like it.

Sorry, but don't Alessi make fridges? I know your name is slightly different, but I think white goods.

I like Alessia, but not the other spelling.

I love Alessia - it's Italian isn't it? The Italian girl I knew pronounced it A-lace- ee - a.

I think the second spelling would be a mistake.

Fairuza · 02/06/2016 20:59

Alessia is a nice name but I wouldn't do the 'unique' spelling.
