Re: Alicia or Alisha?
in reply to a message by ayasmina
I only know Alicia as a-lee-see-a and I've never seen it be pronounced on a person as a-lee-sha
Alisha is absolutely a-lee-sha and would solve the pronunciation issue. From what I understand Alicia pronounced a-lee-see-a is the British pronunciation while a-lee-sha is the American. Since I'm British, I'd choose the Alisha spelling to force the pronunciation of a-lee-sha. I don't know how common it actually is to pronounce Alicia as a-lee-sha in America, but if in any doubt, I'd still choose the Alisha spelling
Personally speaking, I prefer a-lee-see-a as the pronunciation. Alisha is a fine name, but I most certainly prefer Alicia with the British proun
