How would you pronounce?

[hayles07]

The one person I know with their name spelt that way says it: A-lee-sha..

[lauren22]

I agree
A-lee-shah
say it how its spelt i say

[LimeSlice]

Aleesha.

Only because everyone I know with the name is Aleesha...all 9 of them! lol

[Erin_25]

My DH cousin is Alicia ( said " ah-lee-see-ah") think that's how you had it. Second option anyway, with an emphasis on the "c" if that makes sense??

In regards to "say it how it's spelt" then I would say that second option is spot on. Since when do we pronnounce "ci" as a "sh"......that's how a "sh" is pronnounced. It's a C not an S.

[Laranna]

I would pronounce it Aleesha.

Erin - there are lots of words with ci that we say as sh - delicious, suspicious, conscious....

[Pandora]

I'd say Aleesha.
But I know Alicia Silverstone is A-lee-cee-a

[NaeNae]

I know an Alicia - Al ee sha
an Alicia - Ali see a
and an Alicia - Al ysee ah



Yep so I cannot help much but I always see Alicia and say Alesha

[JellyBean]

I only know 1 Alicia and she pronounces it Aleesha so I guess thats how I'd assume it were pronounced.
There is also the Acacia flower which is pronounced Akaisha.
Although I am fond of both pronounciations for Alicia!!

So a bit of both really. We have a surname that we already have to correct people with so a first name you are constantly telling people how to say would probably be really annoying.

I think I like ah-LEE-see-ah better so may need to find an more obvious spelling to get people to say it that way if we want to use it. Alysia, Alesia...
