Is Alissia/ Alyssia a common name right now?

[hutterloga]

Choosing a name for baby number 2 but we don't live in the uk and I'm really out of touch with what's common right now....

No it’s not common where I live and not in the top 500 names in the UK- Alyssia is the most common spelling of the two you mentioned. The name Alicia is slightly more common, but still outside the top 300 (although that has a couple of different pronunciations I think).

No not common; know of 2 but both spelt differently. One is 2y; the other 38y!

No, the usual spelling is Alicia though

I know 3 Alicias

Slightly out of date as we're still waiting on 2022 names, but you can check the general trend/popularity here for England and Wales: https://names.darkgreener.com/#alyssia

Alyssia: 62 in 2021
Alissia: 26 in 2021
Alicia: 136 in 2021

So no not super popular but a lovely name :)

I know a 50odd year old Alicia (same pronunciation) but nobody younger.

Wouldn't that be Aleesha rather than Alissia?

Alicia is normally pronounced Alice-ee-ah/uh.

There is also Alyssa as an option. And no its not particularly common.

Aleesha is the American pronunciation.

Alicia in England (not sure about the rest of the UK) is usually pronounced A-liss-ee-uh.

There is also another pronunciation of A-lee-see-uh, which is how Alicia Silverstone pronounces her name.

Neither spelling is nice. Sounds like you don't know how to spell Alicia which is indeed a fab name. Don't sadle her with a lifetime of telling people how to spell it. Alicia is lovely as it is.

My son (9) has an Alicia, an Alicja and an Elisa in his class, but I haven't seen the spellings you are using.

Ah ok, fair enough! I've only ever met one Alicia and she pronounced it Aleesha so I assumed that was the correct way! My bad 😊

I like Alicia but never seen it spelled otherwise.

It’s nice, and I don’t think very popular at the moment.

Alyssa and Alicia more common

I know an Alessia. I don’t think she’s ever come across another.

I know an Alissa and an Elyssia, both aged around 8. So no, I don't think it's overused at all. Lovely names.
