[Opinions] Re: Alicia
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!!
Alicia? Uhm..
My first association is with Spanish a-LEE-thya or better a-LEE-sya because the 'th' is a bit weird to pronounce.
Actually I know that Alicia is a-LEE-sha in the English-speaking world (i.e. Alicia Keys).
An Italian person who doesn't recognize this name would easily pronounce it a-LEE-cha but this name is not used here while Alice (a-LEE-che) and Alisia (a-LEE-sya) are more common.
So..my first choice would be the Spanish/Latin American pronounciation but if I know that the bearer is English/American so..ok, I'll go with ə-LEE-sha.
Alicia (English) sounds the same of Alisha and Alysha.
I much prefer Alicia. I dislike Angelina.
