I like it but prefer Alessia, Alessandra or Alyssa

HearTheThunderRoar · 09/12/2016 00:17

I really like it, however prefer it spelt Alyssa.

I would pronounce the 'less' part as if it rhymed with 'tess' so thought it was different to alyssa?

Out2pasture · 09/12/2016 00:31

Don't they make great corkscrews? Or is that Alessi ?

Spotted woodpecker?

Alessia.

Pluto30 · 09/12/2016 03:45

Alessia is much nicer.

KoalaDownUnder · 09/12/2016 03:49

Alessia. Not Alessa. Please.

It's a name which people are unsure what the pronunciation is. Which is a pain if it is your name.

Doilooklikeatourist · 09/12/2016 21:27

Prefer
Alice or Alicia

SpunkyMummy · 09/12/2016 22:03

I love Alyssa. (With a y like Lydia)

I like Alice and Alicia can be pretty lovely.

GinIsIn · 09/12/2016 22:05

We have a bottle opener from there....

SarcasmMode · 09/12/2016 23:01

Thinks of Silent Hill
Don't know what that says about me.

Alicia is pretty though?

CanadaMoose91 · 09/12/2016 23:34

I think it's pretty.

EssentialHummus · 09/12/2016 23:42

I'm not keen- the other variations are nicer imo.

I know a little Alessa and although I hadn't heard of the name before I met her, I like it. No one has pronounced it incorrectly as far as I know.
