HelpRe: Alicia or Alisha?
in reply to a message by ayasmina
I say a-lee-sha for Alicia.
I would worry that spelling it Alisha would lead to it being pronounced a-lish-a by some people.
But the spellings are about the same to me. I like the look of Alisha more, but if I were her I would choose Alicia and just correct people, in order to avoid being called a-lish-a. People have called me by the form of my name in their language, or mispronounce it in dialect, zillions of times, and it doesn't bother me ... Being called a-lee-see-a seems like it'd be less annoying than being called a-lish-a.
