[Opinions] Alicia
What are your opinions on this name? I like both of the "Uh-leesh-uh" and "Uh-lee-see-uh" pronunciations. They're both very pretty. This name is very happy sounding, and it reminds me of lemonade and cheeseballs. I've always liked this name, and I've never met one that I didn't like."You're a firework. Show your obstacles your brightest colors."-MeRate my name lists too!

I like it, but it’s a bit dated perhaps?

The name Alicia is in Spanish. I'm not sure why English speakers give it whatever pronunciation they feel like. If a name is not in your language or you can't pronounce correctly then it's not for you. It's Ah-lee-see-ah, said fast. If you're going to pronounce it with an sh then just go with Alisha, it's a nice name.

Because different words are pronounced differently in different languages?

I love it! Both pronunciations, like you. It seems very pretty, fresh, and fun-loving.*

Hi !!!I think that Alicia is an international name because it has so many pronounciations.I like your link with summer and lemonade. I agree that Alicia (with the English sh sound) is energic and lively.

I've only ever heard 'uhLISHuh'. I find it unnecessarily complicated: Alice and Alison are both names I'd be happy to use, but I don't see the point of making a non-Latin name look Latinate.

It's nice, but the ones I know have issues with spelling and pronouciation

I like both pronounciation too. It’s a very pretty name. Alicia also has a nice meaning. Both pronounciations are fine. If I wanted the first one I probably would’ve just went with Alisha, but it’s a gorgeous name nonetheless. Alicia makes me think of summer. It’s also very fun to play around with!Alicia Ines
