HelpRe: Help me like Alice, please.
in reply to a message by mirfak
I hope you don't mind if I steal this. :-)
I like Alyssa (another poster mentioned it), but I'm not so sure about Alys as I think it would lead to a lot of spelling headaches IRL outside of Wales. (I also thought it was pronounced uh-LEES, given the Welsh pronunciations of the similar Rhys and Emrys. Nope, it's pronounced like Alice!)
I forgot about Marcia, but I agree there as well. Here in the states it's always MARSH-uh, and I don't like names reminded me of marshes. But watching Midsomer Murders there was a character called Marcia (MAR-see-uh), and while the character wasn't likeable in the least I thought her name was pretty.
