I've given Elysia some thought before and I love it. Like you, my only reservation is that people would assume it's a variant of Alicia or even think it's Alicia if they didn't see it written down. I pronounce it with the 'leez' sound and I wonder if the pronunciation would be problematic. I've known people with far less complex names that others just can't seem to get right for some reason. For example, I know a girl named Elissa and you'd be surprised the number of people who get that wrong (Alicia, Alyssa, Elise, etc.).

But I love Elysia's meaning and it's so much better than other heaven names, that's for sure. For me, it's a win because I love Eliana but could never use it (I'm Elena with a dd named Anna). Elysia has the same feel for me.

What Elysia combos have you considered?
