Felicia

[Burning Sheep Productions]

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.

[Dr. Doog]

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.

[Elscire]

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.

[Muninn]

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.

[Zylo]

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

[Henohenomoheji]

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

[Doctor Fred]

Alright.

[Sabre]

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-->
