I default to saying it the a-lee-sha way, but the a-lee-see-ah one is familiar, too. It sounds sporty and 90s to me. Dated but not terribly so.
I'd use
Alyssa or
Elysia before I'd use
Alicia, for no particular reason. I think I'd use
Alica before I'd use
Alice but not completely sure. I don't have much opinion on
Alyssia, except I think I'd rather see
Alessia.
Alicia with a LISS pronunciation seems complicated to me. It's not a name I'd particularly want to have in the US, at least. I feel like even if I told people the pronunciation some would probably still mix it up.
