[Opinions] Aloisia (ah-loe-EE-zee-ah)
What do you think of Aloisia with the pronunciation as noted in the title? I know that it's kind of instinctual to say ah-LOY-zee-ah, but I'm pretty sure that's the incorrect pronunciation. Anyway, your thoughts!

Eh, I'm not really digging it. Its kind of a mouthful.
Gorgeous. I pronounce it the same way as you. (I'm in the U.S.)
I've only ever seen it as BBH has it, Aloysia. But Aloisia is in the database and it is visually very pretty. My instinct is to stick to the Aloysia spelling because I love Aloysius.
Have you thought about a mn for Aloisia yet?

Well, usually when I ask people for middle names, they refuse to post under me. =P I'd go with the Aloisia spelling because I much prefer the ah-loe-EE-zee-ah pronunciation and there is no way to pronounce Aloysia other than ah-LOY-zee-ah by looking at it, IMHO.
If you're willing to throw some MNs at me, please go for it!

prefer Aloysia
BTN says that's the German pronunciation, but I doubt that. While I don't know anyone called Aloisia, my instinct definitely would be to pronounce it ah-LOY-zee-ah. I don't think a lot of Germans would pronounce this ah-lo-EE-zee-ah. I really like it with the LOY pronunciation, but not the other one.
I much prefer Aloysius (for a boy of course). I really don't like most feminine forms of male names.
