Well i really love the name Alicia. Pronounced: (A-lee-see-ah)Its suppose to be itlian/spanish. I'm scared if i spell it like that people may pronounce it differently. I thought of Aleiciyah but i'm not sure how much i like that. If you have other suggestions i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I implore you to ignore all silly misspellings of the name and just spell it Alicia. Most people will get it right the first time, some people won't, but correcting pronounciation is much easier than a lifetime of misspellings. It's a beautiful name. Spell it correctly.

Alicia is a nice spelling, but Aleiciyah is too much - she would have to spell out her name to everyone all the time and it would rarely be spelt right. This would be very frustrating, especially if you are a child.

Here in Australia the name is semi-popular but rarely spelt that way. Other variations are Alisha, Aleisha, Alysha but is is pronounced A-lee-sha - like how it is spelt.

Keep it simple and go with what you like.

All the best,
Claire.

I agree with the pp: Aleiciyah is confusing and actually MORE likely to be mispronounced since people will look and it and have say, "huh?" And she will constantly have to correct the spelling for people.
