Which spelling do you prefer?

Alessio for me too, it just looks more balanced.

Same as the other girls Alessio. I've only ever known it spelt that way.

Same, Alessio. I don't think I'd personally use 2 'o' ending names, but if you are happy go for it! Good luck, 2 boys is loads of fun!

For me it comes down to pronounciation - do you say it ah-LESS-ioh or ah-lee-see-oh

If its the Less one I'd use the double ss

Thanks everyone!

Sneakysparkle - I would pronounce it A-less-io. I see your point about the 'less'.

catherinemoses - It's so hard to find names that match with Mateo (not similar sounding but that are the same style) that don't end in 'o'. I guess it's like the girl versions of Nina, Lara, Mia. A lot of girls names tend to end in 'a'. I'm open to other names although I don't have much time up my sleeve.

Keep the votes and comments coming!!

Alessio. Unless you want to continually explain the pronunciation and spelling to people.
I worked with a Melissa who pronounced her name Mel-ee-sa, it was a nightmare for her she ended up changing it (the spelling).

I voted Alessio, it looks and sounds right. Some may interpret the spelling with one 'S' as 'Z' sounding if that makes sense.
