Re: Which middle name idea should go in between Genevieve and Jane?

I’m not a big fan of Elicia tbh — where I’m from it’s pronounced exactly like Alicia and would be frequently misspelled.

Some options I like:

Genevieve Allison Jane
Genevieve Alicia Jane (this cuts down on the misspelling problem)
Genevieve Eleanor Jane
Genevieve Ursula Jane
Genevieve Kathleen Jane
Genevieve Heloïse Jane
Genevieve Anaïs Jane

Oh it's not a misspelling, it's prenounced ē-lease-see-ah, not Alicia. :)
How would you suggest the spelling be then?
I love Ursula btw, especially as a middle but unfortunately in times past hubby gave it a hard no for Little Mermaid reason lol
All good ideas

I didn’t realize it was supposed to be pronounced differently than Alicia. I would stick with the original spelling, Elicia—it makes as much sense as any. It’s a nice name, although hard for me to pronounce (/s/ sounds are not my friend). Most folks won’t have this problem, though. If you love it, use it.
