Alicia - how would you pronounce?

[Chloris33]

I like this name, but pronounced Alissia (like Alicia Vikander), not Aleesha (like Alicia Keys). How would you think to pronounce it? Wondering if pronounciation confusion would be an issue in the UK? I think 'aleesha' is the American way?

With an s sound - Allissia.

I would usually pronounce it A-liss-EE-uh unless told otherwise -I know it can also be pronounced Aleisha but that seems like the less common pronunciation to me.

Al-EE-shya

Aleesha

Alee-sha

Aleesha

A-Lee-Thea

My best friend is Mexican and this is the Spanish pronunciation I think.

Aleesha

Spell it as Alysia?

Al iss ear.

I hate the al ee sha pronunciation, it grates!

I would pronounce it Alissia. I had a good friend with that name growing up and it was always said like that, nobody ever used the 'eesh' pronunciation

*with the name Alicia

I'd pronounce it A-leesh-a but then I've been conditioned by seven years watching The Good Wife.

I know an A-liss-ee-ah and an A-lees-ee-ah. I tend to go with the pronunciation that I'm told.

I have a 19 year old Alicia. (Pronounced Alissia.)

You're right, so many people call her Aleesha, which is the American pronunciation. She used to get really upset about it (neither of us like that, it's a completely different name and not in our opinion very nice to the ear), but now she just ignores people until they pronounce it the English way 😃.

Aleesha, like Aleesha Florrick from The Good Wife...

Spell it Alissa

A-lee-see-a.

Aliss-EE-a

Aleesia

Aliss-eeah

Like Patricia

I mean Alicia pronounced Alisha, like Patricia is Patrisha

I would say Al-ee-sha as the people I know with that name pronounce it like that. I would spell it Alissia to avoid constant correcting'

Interesting, thank you!
