[Opinions] Felicia

WDYTO Felicia for a girl, pronounced feh-LISS-ee-uh*?* The "eeshuh" pronounciation of names ending in "icia" is more of an American thing, so I don't think the pronunciation should cause any problems: Alicia, for example, gets ah-LISS-ee-uh here.

It's okay. I prefer Felicity. Also, I think feh-LEE-see-uh sounds slightly better than feh-LIS-ee-uh.

I love the name, but I pron. it Feh-leesha. I used it for a character. I think it is really pretty. I can live with your pron. too, but it is a good think you aren't in USA. She'd get called Feh-leesha all the time!

I like it alot, its a nice sound & a lovely meaning. I'd definately say Alicia - ah-LISS-ee-uh & felicia - feh-LISS-ee-uh. (I'm English) so certainly over here no problem with the pronunciation. Evy

It's a very nice name but I do much prefer Felicity. I also think feh-LISS-ee-uh is much better than feh-LEE-shuh, same goes with Alicia.

I love Felicia pronounced feh-LISS-ee-uh. There'd always be the problem of going to America and having it pronounced 'wrong'. That'd put me off. It is lovely though.

Felicia, pronounced feh-LISS-ee-uh, is one of my very favourites. Actually, it's in my top 10. A great name IMHO :-)
