HelpAlicia
Ive recently found a love for this name, though I know there is some debate over the pronounciation. So, how do you prn. it? What do you think of it? Any stereotypes that come to mind? And lastly, any combos that you can think of?

I'd pronounce it Ah-lee-shah, but I'm not an English native speaker, so you can't really trust me.
The actual name is not bad at all, but very stereotypically 1970s/1980s-ish for me. Brings to mind a girl with disco-style clothing and big hair.

A-liss-ee-uh
I first heard Alicia on an audio tape of Enid Blyton's 'Malory Towers'. It was A-liss-ee-uh then and I still read it that way. I really don't like Uh-leesh-uh.

That's the way I say it too. And it always brings to mind the clever, sarcastic girl in Mallory Towers.

I have a cousin who pronounces her name uh-LEE-sha. But the actress Alicia Sliverstone pronounces her name uh-LEE-see-uh. So either way is fine.

Uh-lee-sha, or uh-lee-see-uh
I don't really care for it either way but uh-lee-sha is the most common way I've found to say it.
it brings to mind blonde cheerleaders.

My gut reaction is a-LEE-sha (since the only ones I've known have said it that way), but a-LEE-see-a is prettier in my mind. I don't see pronunciation being that much of a problem, though it's bound to annoy sometimes.
No stereotypes really, but I think of last years' Student Council president in my school (who is a blonde Alicia) and Alicia Silverstone (who is a blonde Alicia). So blondes come to mind, lol, but it definitely fits someone of any hair color!
I'm a bit dead when it comes to combo making right now, but how about Alicia Willow, Alicia Leila, Alicia Mae?

I would automatically say "a-LEE-sha" because it is almost always pronounced that way here.
I personally like the "a-LIS-ya" pronunciation.
