Maybe she did try to Americanize the name. Who knows? My dd, Brooke, had a friend named Alessandra. Everyone had been calling her that for a couple of years since she transferred to their school until they all found out her real name was Alejandra and that she used Alessandra because she had ASSUMED that everyone couldn't pronounce it correctly. So then everyone had to learn to call her something else because she REALLY wanted to be called Alejandra. Talk about confusing!

I especially like Elysia but would worry that people would butcher it.
