Aliya

I’m thinking I like this, but only pronounced [name]Ah[/name]-lie-ah, not [name]Ah[/name]-lee-ah. [name]How[/name] can I be sure it is pronounced correctly?

I love ah-LIE-ah! From what I understand, it’s spelled [name]Alaia[/name]. :slight_smile: I love that spelling!

Maybe cause I’m Aussie… but I would have said A-lee-ah.
I’m not fond of A-lie-ah as it sounds like “a liar” to me.

I agree with [name]Ash[/name] - [name]Alaia[/name] is the best way to spell it to get the pronunciation you want. The spelling in the title is too similar to the word aliyah, which is very well known in the Jewish culture (Aliyah - Wikipedia) and is pronounced with the “lee”.

Yeah, go with [name]Alaia[/name], [name]Aliya[/name] looks like it should be ah-lee-ah

Thanks. I like the spelling [name]Alaia[/name]!

[name]Alaia[/name] is nice but it really does sound like “a liar.” It could cause teasing.
