How to spell Anna Lee-see-uh ?

[beautiful_haiku]

I've always liked the sound of Anna Lee-see-uh, but I'm not exactly sure how to spell the "lee-see-uh" part. To be clear, I like Anna Lee-see-uh as both a double-barrelled first name AND as two seperate names with Anna as a stand alone first. Right now I'm just wanting to know how to best spell Lee-see-uh and if you like the names together.

Here are the ways I think it could be spelled:

Anna Lisia
Anna Lissia
Anna Leasia
Anna Leesia
Anna Leecia
Anna Licia (somewhat reminds me to the word lice.....)
Anna Liesia
Anna Liecia

Any other ideas? Thank you!

I used to teach preschool and had a little girl with that name. she spelled it Analicia.

Thank you for your response!

The word "anal" draws my attention with the Analicia spelling... I'm a weirdo, I know lol

[cosmonaut]

Yes, 'anal' jumps out a bit, unfortunately. Annalicia, perhaps? Anna Lee Sia? Anna-Lee Sia? I like the idea of Anna-Lee as a first name, and Sia as a middle, Or Lee Sia as two middles.

From your options, I think Liesia looks the prettiest and communicates the pronunciation best.

Annalisia or Annalicia, though I think with the later you'd get "Lee-sha" vs Lee-see-uh.

As a stand alone name I think Lisia would work best. I pronounce it just like Lisa with "see" in the middle.
I think in this case Licia as a stand along wouldn't be prounced close to what you're looking for at all. Lice-ee-uh or Lish-sha come to mind.

all of the "Lie" options make me want to say "Lie" as the first syllable, while all the "Lea" options make me break that syllable into "Leah" like the name.

I think "Li" is the best spelling, follwed by a "s" ending.

The one I know spells it Annalisa, which I find very pretty.

[goodkarmavt]

I agree Annalisa would be the absolute best choice.

[beautiful_haiku]

But wouldn't Annalisa be "anne uh lee suh"?

I think Anna Lisia might lend itself well to the pronunciation I want, but Lisia just looks odd to me as a stand alone name. Annalisia looks more complete, but I think Anna would be more professional later. It leaves more options if the two names are kept seperate.

Do you guys agree? Any thoughts?
