What do you think about -cia ending?
I think the ending is confusing as to whether it is pronounced as -see-ah or -sha. Still, it's interesting that it's pronounced in different ways. And I asked a question because it's an ending that I've been personally interested in recently.

I like it only pronounced as -see-uh. Marcia, not Marsha. Felicia, not Felisha. Alicia, not Alisha.
I’m not the biggest fan of it honestly; partly because of the confusion, partly because it’s not as attractive as -sia names. I default to pronouncing them ‘see-a’ due to my Spanish background.
I like it, especially pronounced see-a. My favourite names ending that way are Marcia and Lucia
I like it, most of the name pronounced sha, although the Marcia I went to school with was mar see a
I only really enjoy Patricia, which is always -sha. Alicia is all right, also -sha, but I greatly prefer Alice and Alison, so I don't give it much thought.
Thank you. I actually like Alison more than Alicia too.
I think it's beautiful with both pronunciations.
Thank you.
I prefer it pronounced as "see-uh," unless being used in English (because I know that "shuh" is an established pronounciation); furthermore I really like Felicia and Alicia, pronounced all ways.
Thank you.
