Re: Felicia
I like the Latin American Spanish and Swedish way of pronouncing this name (fe-LEE-sya/fe-LEE-see-ah). I hate the fe-LEE-sha pronunciation.Please vote on my ♀ & ♂ lists!http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/174843/112914 + http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/174843/112915

I agree. I have a cousin Felicia, and everyone pronounced her name incorrectly as -SHA... I started liking her name so much more when I learned the correct intended pronunciation was -see-uh.

That pronunciation is not really incorrect, just different from other languages. Our Italian family pronounces it Fel-ee-cha which sounds very, very similar to Fel-ee-sha out loud.
