Re: Felicia
in reply to a message by Perrine
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.

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.
