[Opinions] Re: Alicia/Alisha
in reply to a message by Billina
I had a best friend named Alicia in first grade. Pronounced a-LEE-sha. I didn't really love it then, and I still don't. If it had always been "Alice-Seeya" I might like it more, but Alicia is too familiar now for me to adjust to changing the prn. I don't like the way Alicia resembles delicious. Da-LEE-shus!
I strongly tend to misread Alisha as a-LISH-a. I prefer Aleisha or even Alesha, over Alisha. Aleisha is pretty appealing to me. But it does not really seem like the same name as Alicia. It's like Skylar and Schuyler, Emilia and Amelia - they sound the same, but I "feel" them as different names.
Alyssa > Aleisha > Alicia > Alisha.
