The name "Alyxa" is spelled with five letters and pronounced /əˈlɛksə/. The first sound, /ə/, is a schwa sound, followed by the open-mid front unrounded vowel, /ɛ/. Then there is the voiceless alveolar fricative, /s/, and the voiceless velar stop, /k/. The final sound is another schwa sound, /ə/. The spelling of the name Alyxa reflects its phonetic makeup, with the 'y' being used instead of 'i' to indicate the pronunciation of the middle vowel sound as /ɛ/ rather than /ɪ/.
