What are your thoughts on the name Elixabete and what is the pronunciation?

Elixabete is the Basque form of Elizabeth. The internet says it is pronounced ee-LEESH-ah-bet-UH. I think it should be pronounced ee- LICKS-ah-bet-UH because Elixa looks like Elixir.

What are your thoughts on the name and what would you say is the proper pronunciation.

Update:

I wrote the Basque pronunciation down wrong a few days ago and was unable to get back on until now. It ends in EH not UH. It reads on the internet as ee-LEESH-ah-bet-EH and I pronounce it wrongly as ee-LICKS-ah-bet-EH.

Update 2:

I wrote the Basque pronunciation down wrong a few days ago and was unable to get back on until now. It ends in EH not UH. It reads on the internet as ee-LEESH-ah-bet-EH and I pronounce it wrongly as ee-LICKS-ah-bet-EH.

    It doesn't roll off the tongue very well and I'm not really loving it. But I'm actually kind of fond of the name Elixa!

    Hope this helped! :)
