As seen in <a href='http://fusiontechva.net/houserules/arch ... 0409-c.htm' target='_blank'>this</a> strip, Felicia's name is pronounced Fuh-lee-shuh but I've always thought of it as Fe-li-cee-ah and can't help but think of it that way, anyone else in the same boat?

I forgot about that pronounciation. I guessed correctly when I first encountered it and didn't notice anything special when Millie was shouting it in syllables.

it's all a matter of americans trying to not waste time. fe-li-ci-ah is four sylables. try saying it REALLYREALLY fast and it sounds like fuh-lee-shuh, three sylables, and even faster, since it's fast

Some peole pronounce it differently. I don't know if the 4-syllable pronunciation is common in Australia and Britain, but the 3-syllable is common in America. I guess it depends on the person. I know two girls named Alicia (close enough to Felicia), and one goes by Al-EE-shuh, and one goes be Al-EE-see-ah. Names are weird, pronunciations vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture.

Same boat, here.

it's all a matter of dialects and accents. the word 'coffee' pronounced in new york has a very distinct sound to someone from texas saying the same word.

Hmm, well I've never heard of someone named Felicia.<br>But the name Felicity (Feh-lee-city) who is a character played by Holly Valance in an Australian version soap opera called Neighbours.

I've always said it the 4 syllable way.

As have I, ie (fe-li-cee-ah) , (fe-li-ci-ty)<br><br>I think the pronunciation used in that strip (Fuh-lee-shuh) may well have been used in the shorter way because pronouncing it like that and in a very exageerated style will empahasise sarcasm or exasperation.

I'm with Huffa Moose (had he not said it i would), the syllabalization emphasises Millie's situation. Also her expression is priceless in that strip.

Yea, 10 points to Caigan for excellent coloring of that strip. Really captured Millie's mood, as well as help the punchline.

I think you guys have way too much time on your hands. good. my plan is working. soon, you shall all see... aahahahahaha...AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Alright.

I knew someone names felicia that spelled the same way, so I never messed up. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->
