Re: Alicia
in reply to a message by Lily
I pronounce it ah-LEE-sha and I'm in Australia. This is how nearly every Alicia I have known has pronounced it although I have known a couple who use the three syllable pronunciation. ah-LEE-sha is my preferred pronunciation because I think the three syllable one sounds pretentious and affected. Alicia and Alyssa are both decently common names for my age group (I was born in the late 80s). I have heard them on little girls as well, especially Alyssa, but they don't seem to be quite as common. I think Alicia is a bit dated, yes.Out of Alice, Alicia and Alyssa, I'd choose Alice every time.
