Alicia or Alice?

[GraceMF]

We love them both, with the nickname 'Lissie' but can't decide on which! Like that Alicia is a bit less common than Alice but same sounds?

Alice is my preference.

I like both too. I'd probably plump for Alicia, but could be persuaded to Alice too.

Alice

Alicia for me

Alice, always Alice.

Bear in mind that Alicia can be pronounced Al-ee-sh-ya as well as A-liss-ee-a

Alice. Alicia will get called Aleesha

Alice. I don’t like Alicia pronounced aleesha.

I prefer Alice.

The Lissy I know is a Felicity

I prefer Alice, it's classic and pretty.

If I saw Alisia written down I would probably pronounce it more like 'Ahleeshiya'.

Definitely Alice.

Alicia, can use Alice as a nn

Alice

Alicia, from the good wife show

I prefer Alice but why the 'nickname" Lissie? It's pretty much a completely different name as it doesn't really seem obvious it comes from Alice.
I would think a Lissie would be short for Melissa.

How about Elissa as an alternative option?

beautiful, also like Alyssa? Or even Elissa?

Alice, it’s so beautiful I kind of wish I had called dd that. Also it’s not so common right now.

Lissie is definitely short for Melissa though!

I prefer Alicia but I think the alternative pronunciation and need to specify which she uses would be a bit frustrating.

She'll get Ali at school.

Just call her Lissie.

Alice, definitely!

Alice. All day long.

Definitely Alice. Alicia will become Al. But Alice will remain Alice. And its nicer.

Alice

My Mum's name is Alicia. Most people call her Lisa because they can't pronounce it.
