Common Mispronunciations of Felicia
Not fe-LI-see-uh
The ci is a single sh sound, so the name has three syllables and not four. Compare Patricia and Alicia.
Not FEE-lee-shuh
The opening syllable is unstressed and reduced to a quick fuh. Stressing it puts the beat in the wrong place and lengthens a vowel that should be almost invisible.
