Most correct way to say Alicia

[victorianababy]

A lissia or Aleesha or something else? It is going to put me off the name if it turns out to be the second pronunciation.
help as it is one of the few I like!!

My friend is called Alicia and she pronounces it Al ee sia but i've heard lots of people call her aleesha.

I always thought it was pronounced al iss ia though which I think is the nicest!

If you like the first pronunciation, do you like Elysia as a variant?

When I read about Alicia in Malory Towers or whichever one I always read it as Aleeshia so a mixture of both. Very helpful!

I would say it Al iss ia

our baby sitter is alicia
said
Alicea rather than aleesha

dp is italian. they say AL-ee-CH-ee-a. dd middle name is same as mine. except i say alice (aliss) she's called alice (aleechay)

in italy the c is pronounced ch and i is prounounced ee

i like al-iss-ia but know that Americans and Australians say it the other way which do not like at all......

Hi

I reacon Alicia is pronounced Ali see ah and
Alee sha is spelt Alisha. If that makes sense

I love Alicia and Alice

I would say it Al-ee-sha. I always thought Alyssia was a different name.

A lissia, I would say

I have a friend who says A lish e ah

I always think of it as A-lee-sha because of Alicia Keys.

A lissia

The whole Aleesha thing would put me off.

Al-iss-ia

My cousin is Alicia and it has always been pronounced A-LISS-ee-a in our family anyway!

When I was very little and reading Malory Towers I used to pronounce it as "Aleka." I was clearly wrong, but cannot pronounce it the "proper way" as if sounds round to me!

Alissia
Aleesha if you're forrin, perhaps.
I know 2 who are Alissias.

llareggub: How bizarre!! I used to pronounce it exactly the same way as you. In fact I loved it the way I prononuced (don't now but love Al-ee-sia) and wanted to call any future girls Aleka!!! Glad it wasn't just me!!

I say Aleesha.

My mum says Alyseesia.

Aren't Alicia and Aleesha actually different names? What would I know, I'm just plain old Alice.

I'd say that Alicia is pronounced Alis-e-ah
