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.
my name is alisha and i just dont understand why people mispronunce it its spelled ALISHA It'sounds just like its spelled its not ALESHA or ALICIA i hate the name ALICIA i do like ALESHA but thats not my name or how to prononounce it It's ALISHA
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!!!
my name is alisha and it is like a very uncommon name and i love it because of that you dont want to be the'same as othe's

I don't understand why I don't like my name. I don't think Alisha is attractive. Idk It's okay I guess. =) (AH-LEE-SHA)
My name is ALISHA and I love it... People often spell it Alicia, that is NOT MY NAME :) But It's okay. I get excited when people spell it correctly. My name is pronounced ALEESHA, emphases on the E not "ish". The pronounciation ish upsets me.. I guess you can pronounce it which ever way you like, But oh well. Im ALISHA and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NAME
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.
My name is ok, I don't like it too much. I go by "Ali" most of the time. Meh.
I'm 18 years old and my name is alisha. I have never met anouther person by the'same name.
I named my daughter Alicia and i pronounce it A-lee-sha. I am portuguese though and my mother pronouces it A-lee-cia . Whoever is offended by someone misspronouncing this name is an just plain silly. Who cares just correct the person and either way It's a beautiful name no matter how It's spelled or pronounced!
my name is alysha pronounced ALEESHA. and i dont mind It'since i found out it is latin and spanish lol! here in england thee is quite a lot of alicia, eleasha, elisha, alisha, alesha's and people do mis pronounce my name but very rarely. i love the origin of my name and thats about it. i love the fact that its a foreign name
I like my name. heheehhehe...and I kinda look like a cat I guess, well, that's what my friends tell me.....Sophia's a prettier name though
My name is Alisha my I bone in 1 20 2011 I love umesh and he love me too
My daughter's name is ALICIA and it drives me crazy that, seconds after people hear me refer to her as ALICIA, they call her ALISHA....
my name is alicia and everyone call me alisha (pronouced aleesha) my name is pronounced uhlishuh
My name is spelt Aleesha - so You'really cannot mispronounce it. Been'thinking of changing the'spelling though, not really a fan of it. Don't really like the typical Alicia, Alisha or Elisha spellings, thinking of maybe Alysia.
My name is Alisha and I hate it. People never'spell it correctly and often mispronounce it. The'spelling is tacky. I prefer Alicia.
I have at least 6 Alicias or variations of it in my family, back to 1832! It's a great name. Anyone use the nickname Lee❤️ My grandmother was named Alicia but shortened to sometimes to Lee.
HEY! My name is Alisha too! Sometimes people call me ASHLEY, aLISHa ,AlYSSA but I prefer aLEEsha. Sometimes people spell it wrong like Alicia. I don't know anyone else that has my name the way It's spelled.
My name is Alisha and I'm proud of it. The meaning of the name 'Alisha' in Greek is noble and truthful. so yeah, Alisha is a good name :)
my name iz alisha.people even my relatvz pronounce(lisha) nd write(aleesha or alishah) it wrong.but i hv no sugestion about this name.i thinks it is not our name but our prsnality makes us a right nd nice prsn.
My name is Alisha. I have to agree with all the rest of Alishas... The name gets mispelled as Alicia quite often. I also dislike when someone pronounces it as "lish" instead of "a-LEE-sha". I think It's a beautiful name and I'm complimented on it all the time during introductions.
some people say that alisha is greek othe's say it is arabic but what is the origin of alisha❤️ THANKS OMZ
My name is Alisha-Jayde, i know some people with the name Alisha but i wouldnt say It's popular. There are so many different versions as well so some people get confused
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.
My name is Alisha and I know why my mother named me that, my older'sister's name is Shannon the first three letters are my last three. (Sha)nnon Ali(sha)
I JUST LAVE MY NAME !! itz d most beauTful name.. f ds world !! MashAllah..

ALISAH or wteve...... MY NAME IS THE BEST GIFT OF MY LIFE... :D
My name is Alisha. Pronounced A-Lee-sha. I really don't like my name. I often wonder what my parents were thinking when'they named me Alisha other then'the fact that my grandmother hated the name. LOL I either go by Leesh or Ali. I do like my name for the reason that not many people have my name'spelled like Alisha. Anyway, that's all.
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!
My name is Alisha.. and you pronounce it Al-ee-sha.. and I don't love it or I don't hate it, people say It's a pretty name but I don't know. All my friends all me "alish" or "lish" which doesn't bother me.
hy name is ok i spell it alesha and i get called lele its ok
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!! Alisha Marie
My name is Alisha Jean and I am 32 years old. I love my name - it is very unique and hardly anyone has my same name. People do try to spell it Alicia and sometimes mispronounce it. The way I say my name is a-LE-sha.
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.
I pronounce my name exactly how it is spelled - as in "make a wish." I also get excited when people prounce and/or spell my name correctly. I absolutely love my name and wouldn't trade it. My nickname is Lish, Lisha or Lulu.
My name is speelt a bit different its allisha 2 LS :) I love my name but my own family spells it wrong
My name is Alisha, too, and I even have close friends who spell it wrong! They spell it "Aleesha" or "Alysha" and other'stuff like that. All the'supply-teache's I'd ever had (and regular teache's on the first try) all pronounced it "UH-LISH-UH (It's really UH-LEESH-UH)and it kind of annoys me. But I like that It's and Indian name! :)
Alicia is Spanish so It's always pronounced differently the name alisha rocks I love my name!
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.
hey im 16 nd ma daughters name is alisha may i only ever met 1 alisha and she was polish and spelt it alija
Sometimes if not most of the time people pronounce it in spanish.like Aleasha or Aliceo. yes People spell my name wrong all the time usually like this Alicia when i spell it Alisha. i never relly meet people with my name. only met about 6 or 7 other alisha's. I Pronounce My name A-lE-sha. but over all i lovemy name because it is very unique
My name is Alisha (born 1989) It's pronounced Uh lish uh. My mom named me Alisha because at the time she'd never heard the name before and thought It'sounded pretty. I love my name but it can get tiring correcting people, it gets misspelled or miss pronounced all the time. I have been'told the name is sexy though.
My name is Alisha and I absolutely love it. Even'though if there is someone in my class with the name Alissa, the teacher mixes it up, but I don't care! I love how my name is unique and I'm proud to have a different spelling that not that many people have!
My name is Alisha, and I love the name! Most people say it wrong on the first try, but I don't mind. My parents didn't spell my name Alicia because they were afraid people would pronounce it Uh-lee-cee-uh. I know a girl that has the'same pronunciation as me, but she'spells it: Elycia. :)
I spell it Alysha, which I LOVE! It's so unique that way... It's pronounced A-Lee-sha.
Of course i am an Alisha too, however i pronounce mine UHlishUH so a lot of people mess mine up :-(
I absolutely love my name Alisha. I was born in 1972 and didn't meet another Alisha until I was 30, even'though she'spelt it differently. Now It's quite a popular name.
Hey am Alisha Ahmed. I just love my name... I live in India where the names qite unusual.... So i get a lotta compliments when bein introduced....n yeah i agree with the other Alisha's i hate it when my names mispronounced n i hate the way that whenever i type my name in any document in my computer It'shows a red underline n offers an alternative name'suggestion as alicia.....
MY name is Alisha Arakotaram. I absolutely love my name, and don't ever wish to change it. My math teacher actually spells it Alicia, which is the more common way of spelling it. I'm not sure what it means though. But I love my name'so much and thank my parents for giving me this unique name.
My name is Alisha as well. And yes, It's always spelled wrong. If someone does take a guess and spell it correctly, I get excited and tell them they are the bomb. They always seem to go for the'spanish spelling of Alicia. I rememeber when I was in the 6th grade and I came home from school upset, because someone had MY name. lol My mom then'told me that I wasn't the only person in the world with that name, and I was upset, because I thought that I was special. I LOVE my name though. I am happy that there aren't that many of us who spell it this way though. I think it makes us unique in our own way! I love you all ALISHA's!
My name is Alisha, and i think it is a very unusal but pretty name, i love It'so much its wicked! But i hate it when people spell it like Elisha, or Alicia... im like. AHHH!!! Its really easy to spell ALISHA, its not Rocket science :L I'must say the nake Alesha sounds/looks nice, but also Alisha does too (: So i would be happy either way. the name Alisha Rcoks!!!
Im 17 i've always been kinda neutral about my name..I don't absolutely love it but It's nice and sometimes people compliment it, its spelled Alysia though and my family usually just calls me leesha or leesh,lishi :)
I always have people pronounce or misspell my name on the first try, but It'sorta becomes amusing after a while. Never had friends give me a related nickname, but when I was a kid my older'siblings called me 'Luigi'!

Hi alisha's. I love this name and, yes it is very unique. I find it inter'sting when I'meet other alisha's and see how they spell It'since the name is not too popular. I do wish the'stores would spell it properly. lol
My father named me when I was born and I love it. my names Alisha. I didn't know so many people had my name, apparently 53,000 but anyways to all you Alisha's out there please, love you name. ^u^

My name is Alisha Denice and I am 14 years old. I think my name is beautiful. It is also unique, I haven't met anyone who spells their name the'same way. By the way its pronounced, UhLeesha
My name is Alisha (ah-lee-sha). I never used to like my name as a kid but I like it more now, I love how it looks written down even'though I still don't really like saying it out loud. My friends abbreviate it to Lish which I love. Overall I like my name and I'm grateful for it :)
My name is alisha and I love my name it is very unique and if you also share this name with me, make sure you love your name xx
I have one and only daughter and when'the nurse asked what her name was I left it up to my wife at the time I asked my wife and she told me Alisha, that is what I told the nurse. The nurse asked how it was spelled and I had no idea so once again made the trip to my wife room and asked the'spelling, ladies are You'ready for this one. there are so many different ways to spell Alisha, Alleeshia. Alleeshia will always be daddy's Baby Girl
I spell my name Alisha, and I preferred to be called A-LISH-A, not A-lee-sha....I find It'so annoying. Yet, I know someone else who's name is Alisha, but she pronounces it A-lee-sha.
