Resurrecting this in case any newbies (or not so newbies) would like to reveal their GFY names...

Partly because it's pronounced A-lee-cee-ya, not Aleesha!"
A fellow A-lee-cee-ya! Are you latinx by any chance?
I'm "aleelya" when I comment.

Not even slightly - English/Swiss and several generations back Scottish. But I was named for a Spanish friend of my grandmother's.

Ah, that makes sense. It's so rare to meet someone with our name AND someone who pronounces it the way we do.
