hi my name is alexia and i have many friends around the world that pronounce it a-LE-xia.the problem is that i am greek and we pronounce it ale-XI-a. even some greek people pronounce it a-LE-xia because they think it sounds tredy that way or just to tease me. anyway it doesn't bother me at all! why does everybody have to know how to spell and pronounce my name correctly?? am i a celeb or sth??lol
plus mind you my dad's dad was from asia minor and we also have a pretty wierd surname. i've heard both my name and my surname pronounced wrong from tons of teachers at school but i never cared.
th funnest thing was when a pe teacher once said to me "ok, a-LE-xia, how do you pronounce your surname??"! everybody laughed including me!
