Very cute name and very nice meaning, but it's a little too youthful for my taste. It sounds too close to a made up variation of Alice it just doesn't fit as an adult name.
This name can also be spelt Elicia. But be warned this often means it is pronounced Elisha rather than the correct pronunciation of E-li-see-ah.

I like this name, but pronounced as Elijah would be. I know it's wrong, but every time I see this name I think it's pronounced like Elijah Wood, the guy who plays the hobbit.
I even plan on using this if I ever have a little girl.
I actually think, but I am not 100% and my google search left me kinda confused, but I always thought that Elysia (also thought it was Elysian feilds) was a part of the realm of the dead, which was called Hades. But I guess it is different for everyone.
