Hi all,

My husband and I are trying to choose baby names as we haven't come up with many options and LO is due next week. My husband's top girls name, which I'm also quite keen on, is Alicia, which we both pronounce as A-Liss-ee-a. However it has dawned on me that some might pronounce it A-lee-sha. Would be great to get some outsider opinions on how others would pronounce it. Thanks in advance!

Ah lee sha

I don't like the ah-lis-sia pronouncistion tbh.

All the Alicia's I've taught have been the sha variety. There is a Greek name Elysia which has the same sound as the pronunciation you like.

I would pronounce it A Lee sha. Alysia could be a more phonetic spelling if you're worried about mispronunciation

Ah-lee-sha

I think it sounds nasty either way tbh.
