Alysa is one of several variations of Alice that rose in the US popularity charts starting in the 1960s and continuing in some cases until the first decade of this century.

Liu herself pronounces her first name ah-LISS-ah, rhyming with Melissa, but this spelling might also suggest the pronunciation ah-LEES-ah, rhyming with Lisa.

Amella is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Amelia, which derives from the Germanic word 'amal' meaning 'work' or 'labor,' suggesting industriousness.

The name has a soft, melodic quality with the popular '-ella' ending that has become fashionable in contemporary naming. While not widely used historically, Amella offers a slight variation on the extremely popular Amelia, giving it familiarity while maintaining distinctiveness.

Andraya has never been among the top-ranking names in the United States, making it relatively uncommon. The name has a flowing, three-syllable rhythm that feels both contemporary and timeless. For parents seeking a name with classical roots but a fresh presentation, Andraya offers the perfect balance of familiarity and uniqueness.

The pronunciation of Anthea varies slightly depending on language and location. Among English speakers, it's ANN-thee-uh, while it's Greek and in French, it's AHn-TAY-A.
 
Notable bearers include Anthea Disney, a high-powered business executive and distant relative of Walt, and Anthea Turner, a TV presenter.
