I know an Alysha and an Elysia both pronounced with the lee-she ending. I've also only heard of Alicia pronounced as ah-lee-sha. I'm in central Canada if it helps. So for the alice-ee-uh pronunciation, I voted for Alisia. Alessia would also be a similar sounding name.

That's going to confuse people more

Wait you want Alice ee uh? I would never in a million years think pronounce these that way.

Alysia looks like ah lee sha and alisia looks like a liss ee uh

I thought it was Aleezhia (like freesia), so still confusing either spelling.

Alicia = ah-LEE-sha
Alisha = ah-lee-sha or ah-LISH-ah
Alysia = ah-LEE-see-ah
Alisia = ah-LEE-see-ah or ah-lee-ZEE-ah

I feel like you need two L's or two E's to get what you're looking for. Or an accent on the i.

Aliseea
Alicía (the accent makes it ee and means you should put the emphases on it)

Why not Alyssa?

It's a pretty name. I think it's just one of those names that doesn't have a spelling that is super clear. I think of the options you propose Alysia might be better, but I think others may still mispronounce either of these too. Personally I would stick with Alicia. People are aware that there are two different pronunciations so once they learn of which pronunciation you prefer they will use it. Other spellings that are unknown will cause the same thing to happen. People will have to learn how you want it said because they are unfamiliar with it spelled that way.

I'm this is my name! I HATE it and I hate never forgave my parents either. About 80% of people get it wrong, about 40% of people get it wrong after being corrected >twice and about 1% tell me May parents must have been retarded. Don't do it please.
