Alisi

[purplefog.livejournal.com]

My cousin (Matthew) and his wife (Sarah) just had their first baby. They've called her Alisi Sarah - our family has Germanic roots and to keep them going, they've chosen the Germanic form of Alice. Alisi is pronounced Ah-LEE-see or Ah-LISS-ee depending on where you are; I've only seen the name written down so far so I don't know their choice on that :)

I think it's wonderful, and thought I'd share because I don't think it's used often. The only thing that may confuse us in our family is that we have three little girls in the youngest generation, all born within 3 years, called (in age order) Ella, Anise and Alisi ;)

I like it. I'm an Alissa, so not that different. I like either pronunciation of Alisi.

Alissa is very cool - where is that from?

I've never seen Alisi but it is a cute variation of Alice. Very pretty. I also like Anise and Ella :)

That's the name of an Italian restaurant where I live so I always thought it was Italian haha. I like it!

Perhaps it's also used in Italy, or has another translation? In Germanic terms, it has meanings like 'noble' and 'honourable'.

Alisi is very pretty, as is Ella and Anise. Congratulations on the new baby.
