my name is "Alisha" (pronounced Ah-Lee-Sha) - don't know why my parents chose this name, or the way its spelt, or the way its sound... people always called me "Ah-LISH-Ah" or they would spell my name "Alicia"... but then my middle name is pretty eff'd up too! (Kristina.. lol) - so eh. i go by the nickname: Lishie - or sometimes Alisa :) --- i like my name. its pretty!

My name is Alisha Sue. When I was younger in school I kinda wished I had a original name, but that was because I wanted to be like the other children'that I went to school with. Now I thank my mother and father that I have a different name than all the other people out there. When I have kids of my own I am going to choose an unique name for them not an original. Some people pronounce it differently. Sometimes it gets on your nerves and sometimes it gets on your friends nerves worse, example in my senior math class in high school my friends would always correct the teacher before I could. After a few times he finally got it right. Honestly it really doesn't bother me when people miss pronounce my name, unless I am in a bad mood I guess. My mom chose this name in 87' because she had never heard it that much. Now you hear it more and more these days It'seems like, but I have only went to school with I think like 2 other Alisha's. So if you are thinking about nameing your child/ren'this I would tell you to go ahead and do it.

Im called Alisha and i think it very unique, however the downfall to having this name is that most people can't spell it correctly.As they tend to spell it Alicia or Alesha and even Alessia. I love my name and i wouldn't change it for the world, so for any Alisha's out there remember! LOVE your name It's very pretty and different!!!

Hi to All the Alisha's/Alesha's out there. I love the name. We are going to name our baby girl Alesha, but I would like to spell it Aleisha so there is its pronounced as aLEIsha, but I am concerned that it will be shortened to Ale as in the drink, I could spell it aLIEsha, but that looks funny to me, then her name can be shortened to Ali which is fine with me. I would love any suggestions on the'spelling please. thanks

this is my name and now i love it. one reason is that i am christian and it is a biblical name. also i was reading about name'stereotypes and about how people think Abes are thought to be honest, Adolphs are thought to be cruel and... Raquels are thought to be beautiful. People do sometimes call me Rachel and people-actually most adults-sometimes spell it Racquel. But that's rare. so i guess my experience with this name is positive.

I enjoy being named Alisha. I think its a lovely name, but it Isn't very unusal anymore :( I hate it when people spell my name with and E asin Elisha. And when people spell like Alicia or Elishia. Its so annoying, it really Isn't hard to spell. But I abreaviate it to Lisha most of the time.

I am 25 years old and my name is Alisha. When I was a child, I didn't know anyone with my name, other than one older girl who spelled he's as Alicia. I was always told it was a pretty name during introductions. Nowadays i've noticed more people with my spelling and pronunciation, so it doesn't seem as unique as it was back then, but it is still unique enough that it Isn't too common of a name. I am happy with my name overall, however I wish there were more nicknames to go along with it. The only problem I have with my name is that people often misspell it as Alicia or pronounce it as A-lish-a, rather than A-leesh-a.

This is my name. People always say it correctly but often spell it wrong, I'most frequently get "Gail" or "Gale". I usually have to spell my name out to make sure people get it right. I have only ever known one other person with the'same name but she'spelt it "Gail". It is a name that people have heard of but they are unlikely to know many, if any, other people with the'same name. When I travel abroad, especially to France and Spain, I have found that my name is especially difficult for people there to pronounce. Native French speakers can't pronounce it properly at all!

Alisha Alisha. I Totally feel everyone on the'spelling of Alicia. I'm not quite sure who got that rolling as the way to spelling our name but, I would like to have a few words with them. It's comforting to know othe's with the name Alisha feel the'same way I do. Upon reading the comments on this page I came across an Alisha who says she looks like a cat. That's funny because i've heard I look like a cat. I like it. Have any other Alisha's reci'ved that'same comment❤️ On another note I love the meaning of my name most of all. I love it in every language. No one really knows exactly where the origin stemmed from, so I like to think our name can mean all these things at once. Alisha German: (Teutonic) meaning of the girlıs name Alisha: the wise counselor, the truthful one, noble Greek: meaning of the girlıs name Alisha: truth, noble Biblical: Oath of God Indian: He who is protected by God Muslim, Hindu: Protected by God Muslim, Arabic: Honest, truthful, Protected by Allah Hebrew Meaning great happiness Enjoy!!

I don't really like the name Alisha (It's my name though). I just find it boring, and It's kind of an annoying name to have. People almost always pronounce my name "A-lish-a" rather than "A-leesh-a", because that's what it looks like. But It's not right. I'm used to it though. i've actually had tons of people just look at the'sh and call me Ashley. i've actually had a teacher call me Ashton. And when people first try to spell my name, they always think It's "Alicia". It's kinda neat that my name is unique at my school, but I do know another girl who's name is the'same spelling and pronunciation (at a different school), so It's not that unique.

People who pronounce Alisha as "Uh-Leesh-Sha" are stupid! If that was how "Alisha" should be pronounced, then it would be spelt "Alicia." It's like looking at the word "cat" and pronouncing it as "dog." My name is Alisha and is is pronounced the CORRECT way. I love it.
