So with my pronunciation thread it's pronounced Ah-LEE-ah so which spelling do you think would be better??

The original way is Aaliyah but I'm just not sure on the double A.

Thanks

I LOVE the name & spelling Aaliyah. I thinks it's a lovely name. I was going to call Rihanna this

I voted Aleeya, but I also like the Aliya and Aaliyah.

I think Aleah with your pronounication makes it easier for others to know how to say it

I like Aleah!

I agree - Aleah.

Theres a singer called Aaliyah and im pretty sure its pronounced Ah-lie-ya. I think you'd be forever correcting people if you spelt it that way :)

Goodluck deciding! :)

I prefer the original spelling, its one of the only names that you can put the double 'A' and it makes sense. I.e like Aaron

Aaliyah is very pretty by the way

How about aleeha or aleeah.. Just to confuse you but I remembered Leah on teen mum 2 has twins & one of them is aleeah pronounced the way u wanted. I think it's quite cute & looks the way it's spelt. Good luck

The other twin was called aliannah (Ali-Arna) I just saw in your other thread u would shorten it to Ali so that name could also be pretty. :)

i like the way you have it in the title, only thing is with the way you sort of 'stay' on the eee sound, having the spelling so short might trick people and you;d be forever correcting them. btw i;ve never heard is spelt with 'lie' in the middle, only ever 'lee'. a friend of mine named her twins Jaida and Aliqua- and yes, aliqua is pronounced exactly as it is written, and a 'kwa' sound on the end.


have you tyhought of doing double ii? i mean, just cos you dont like the double A doesnt mean you cant do double I. each way i think of it though, i still come back to the original spelling, it just makes all the letters sound right when you say it i reckon


oh and the singer Aaliyah, who died in the plane crash-(sung the song 'try again) hers was pronounced the exact way you want it to be pronounced, not with a 'lie' in the middle, but a 'lee' sound.
