I only like it pronounced ah-LEE-see-ah. I think it's very pretty that way. I hate ah-LISH-a and al-ISH-a.
It's a bit 70s dated but still beautiful. But I guess people would never pronounce it the way I'd want them to and as I can't stand the -isha pronunciations I wouldn't use it. I also hate how there are so many spellings:
Alecia,
Alisha (I'd actually fear people would spell it that way more than
Alicia if you used the -isha pronunciation),
Alysha etc Also the nickname
Al is unattractive. I knew an
Alicia who went by
Al, she was a tomboy. I don't like
Allie either, but I do like Lecie (LEE-see) for ah-LEE-see-ah.
I also really like
Elissa and
Alice.
