Aaliyah

The double A is the common spelling, I think, for the name.

Aaliyah is the most common

I spelled my daughters aliyah uh-lee-uh I don't like the double A's

Aaliyah that’s such a beautiful name like the singer 🥹

Aaliyah

I wouldn’t pronounce any of those with the uh sound at the start, I’d say all of them with the a sound a -Lee-uh like in Alice

Aleah

Aaliyah

Aaliyah or Aliyah

Aleah for me. I always thought Aaliyah and the other options like that were pronounced ah-LY-ah like “eye” in the middle.

All of them :)

i prefer the spelling Aaliyah - but i would pronounce all of those names with an "Ah" sound at the beginning - Ah-Lee-Uh, not Uh-Lee-Uh. 💕

Aliyah

Alea

Aleah

@Helen that would be difficult to pronounce to me coz that's not how it's pronounced 😆 like Al-euh

I'd pronounce them all Ah-lee-yah. My cousin is called Aaliyah, just like the singer x

I wouldn’t pronounce any of those with an Uh sound. They’d all be said like Ah-lea

Aleah would be the most obvious I think. All the rest could be often mispronounced as AH-lee-ya. My cousin is Aleah with the same pronunciation that you’re after x

Aaliyah for sure. I was a fan of her music... but I have met an Aliyah and an Aleah spelt those ways too. 💕I love the meaning and I also think this is a timeless yet new name all at the same time.

Usually it’s spelled Aaliyah I think but I knew someone who spelled it Aleigha
