My name is spelled Alicia. I grew up in Austin TX and knew several other people with my name spelling. I feel like if I had this spelling, it would have been more unique.
I don't see why y'all don't think Alysha is a unique name. Alicia is boring and the spelling is just like any other name. Alysha is amazing and the spelling is different, that's why I love it and whoever doesn't has a boring name.
This is my name, and I've always hated it. The way I pronounce it is a-LEE-sha, and all of my life people have pronounced it like "A-lish-a", or I've been called Ashley or Alyssa. It has never been spelled right, believe me, it's been spelled every way you can imagine... Alicia, Alesha, Alisha, Aleshia, etc, etc. I also was in a class with another girl named Alysha, and people thought her name was Alysha and mine was Ashley! Also there aren't many nicknames for it, once I was called "Al", which I hated, and one teacher had a habit of calling me "Leeshee", which reminds me of sushi. I personally don't think any future Alysha's will want to live life with this name.

I LOVE this spelling of the name. I hate any other spellings, they all are very common and annoying. "Alicia" can be pronounced several different ways.This is the name of my little sister who is very special to me, and I've given her the nickname "Eeshee". I don't know why, it's just been what I call her ever since she was born. Alysha is a cute and unique spelling, fit for a spunky girl with lots of family pride!
