need H.E.L.P. spelling

i really need help with this issue. i found "Alicie" on one of the sites and wanted to use it, but i want it pronounced (uh-LEE-see  NOT  AALISS-ee). i am oing to put up a similar post on YCCII, as i have gotten the base idea for my new name from her/them.

plz give any opinion you feel. which one would pronounce the way i want (like Lisa but an ie ending) and spelling that best conveys that.

i had my heart set on Alicie because that is my adoptive name that i grew up with and hated.

thank you in advance to ANYone who has any ideas!


Alicie Alicey Alicy Aleighcie Aleighcey Aleighcy Aleighci
Alisie Alisei Alisey Alisy Aleighsie Aleighsey Aleighsy Aleighssie Aleighssey Aleighssy
Alycie Alycey Alycy Aleighcy Aleighsey Aleighsi

the -eigh endings

there are those who like the -eigh endings on names and those who don't. i think they are pretty. my second daughter's mn-(middle name) is Leigh.

here is an example of a family who enjoys the special -eigh ending;




these girls all have the -eigh ending somewhere in their name. also, all of their first names start with the letter "M".  their last name also starts with "M", let's hear it for ALLITERATION!  i had never even heard of that word a week ago! i learned it here, on Blogger, from all the wonderfully amazing gals who have baby name sites/blogs :)
i had started off on WP-(wordpress), then found there were so many sites here on Blogger i just HAD to create one so i could join all the lovely sites. thank you, all of you here on Blogger, i am Loving your names!!

H.E.L.P.

hello all!  i created this blog specifically to be able to join all the wonderful, amazing baby name blogs that are in the Blogger/Blogspot family. hopefully i will be able to learn how to list you all on the side, like everyone else does.
i am in the long, drawn-out process of changing my name. any and ALL help is welcome! my birthname was Laura Elizabeth Mahoney. my adoptive name was Alice Elizabeth Sanders. i hated the name Alice. i remember in 6th grade i tried to change the spelling to Alyse. i hated the way, when someone would ask me my name and i said, "Alice Sanders" they would say, "Alexandra what?". after jr. high i got all my friends to call me AL. when i was 19 my friend christened me "Ali". i thought, wow! how come i didn't think of that sooner? as the years turned into decades i noticed that people would pn (pronounce) my name ah-LEE, like Muhammed. this is long after my time in California where i was able to change on my license and SS card from Alice to Ali. so i got so tired of people mispronouncing Ali, i up and changed it to Aly. i found that changed absolutely nothing. still the same mispronouncing ah-LEEE. so i invented Jiinxsay. i fell in love with it and used it online everywhere. i felt happy that i had a "cool" name, a name that no one else of the planet had the same spelling of! i was unique! out in the world i was introducing myself as Jiinx. all along i was just trying to find a mn (Middle Name) or 3. plus a last name, as Sanders had become somewhat of a stigma after dad died 13 yrs ago. i didn't like people calling me "Miss Sanders". i would say, "please call me Aly, my mother is Mrs. Sanders).  and since i have serious "mother issues" i wanted O-U-T of that name. 1st my friend Kae on FB turned me on to Whild, i thought it was awesome! oh, pardon, actually "Lee" came first. i wanted dad's initials; he was a professor at Harvard for 38 yrs and went by J. Lyell Sanders. HIS father's name was John L. Sanders. obv he had "dad issues".  so i knew i wanted his initials somewhere in my novel of a name; JLS, still my fav initials in the world :) so i had started off "Jiinxsay Lee". then Kae got me "Whild", so i tried to find a 2nd mn(middle), i got Siovahne, it held so much meaning for me!! the Irish/Gaelic? version of; Joan-birthmom's 1st part of her name; Joan-Marie. John-dad's name, Jane-adoptive mother's 2nd half of MaryJane, and Jeanne-adoptive sister who also hates me. it felt perfect! so i had,
"Jiinxsay Lee Siovahne Whild". then i kept finding other names that i wanted to use for mn's (more middles than is acceptable :( _) then i was over "Whild". Marlowe came to mind, from one of my fav books. that is where i literally got LOST.
then, going thru all of your blogs, i found alicie and loved it. then i thought to myself, well, mom won't be so bummed if i change it to THAT. i happened upon Larue, which was some kind of anagram for Laura, sort of. i know a gurl who had a baby and i took my own spelling from that and then had Alicie Larue Makenna. Lace wants to put itself in there, and all of a sudden Laurel sounded better than Larue, so i was up to  "Alicie Laurel Makenna Lace. so then, the dilemma would be, where do we put Siovahne, Graycie-(dad's mom who died when he was young- sp-Grayce, and Bethie or Bethia for my newly Beloved birthsister, i call her Bethie Blossom. i even thought of using MiaBethie, meaning "My Bethie", then elaborated to "MiaAngelicBethia" OR "MiaAngelicaBethie". i like the way that sounds. if i had my own way i would probably have 100 mn's (middlenames). so do i go w/unique 'ME" name? or do i honor fam(ily) by using those names, ah yes, "Honor Graycie" was an idea as well. so we could be up to,
"Alicie Laurel Makenna Lace Honor Siovahne-Graycie Mia-Angelica-Bethie"  then fell "in like" with Lue, adding to the currayzee mix, most likely after Graycie Lue, pretty. but what about alllllll the other many many many endless infinity names i love??? i just came upon Willoughby today and loved it, how insane! it doesn't even FIT! i wanted a "virtue" name, and found someone from the 1800s who's 1st name WAS Virtue, so i thought, how neat! i wanted a "V" name. the only one i had liked so far was Vae. i also adamantly want Julie in the mix. my ex-would-have-been-sis-in-law, a lovely lovely amazing person who the minute you meet her you want to be near her and listen to her talk and laugh, she's very special. her name is Julie Elaine, so i thought up "JulieLaine Sunshine"  OR "Julielaine-Sunshine". that takes care of Jules AND dad's initials. so you can see my dilemma. i'm getting exhausted just thinking about it as i write it, and wonder, how many people will even want to get involved, this currayzee gurl who has a million names. i'm lost, hoping for an island, oh speaking of... L'isle was also an option...eeeek, it never ends. i guess the only thing to do now is just put this out there. i had a "1st post" all set up, w/a fam of names all ending in -eigh, very pretty names....alas, i am seeing now that this takes precedence and i DEF need help and input from other women who KNOW names. so i'll leave it as this,
"Alicie Laurel Makenna Lace Honor Siovahne-Graycie Lue Mia-Angelica-Bethie-Blossom Julielaine-Sunshine______________. no last name. i'm not crazy about Laurel either :(
thank you for listening, i appreciate it more than you all know. studying names is supposed to be fun....it IS fun...i'm just stuck.
<3 luv, _________
