Today I had a Russian student and her name was Olesea, but her consultant had registered her as Alessia (common italian female name, "Ah-LESS-ee-ah") because it's pronounced just the same. How weird is that?

(In Italian Olesea would be "Oh-leh-zeh-ah")

I really love both of those names. Especially Alessia.

I love the name Alessia. I used it for a character in a game I play.

Alessia is a pretty name.
It's pretty weird indeed that Olesea is pronounced the same. Here, it would be pronounced the same as in Italian =)

In Russian, if the "o" isn't the stressed vowel in the word, it makes an "ah" sound :D
