Hello! So, I have loved the name [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] ever since I met a girl with it back in high school. She pronounced it just like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I know it’s a Hebrew name so that’s technically not the correct pronunciation. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think that’s a big deal? She would get questions at school, but nothing crazy. I’ve tried to just stick with [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but I definitely prefer it with an A.
Also, we have a brother in law with a son named [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] in the family. Too similar?
Aliza is beautiful! I know a girl named [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] who pronounces it like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I would not think that was the pronunciation initially but if your fine with people not always getting the pronunciation right automatically then I say go with it!
I love [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]! I prefer [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] over [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] because of the meaning. I don’t pronounce them the same but idk if enough people are familiar with the name to know that and you can quickly correct them if they pronounce it differently. I know a girl whose name is [name_f]Aleeza[/name_f] but I prefer the [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] spelling. She’s Muslim and doesn’t know Hebrew nor from middle east though.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] sound similar but I don’t think it’s a huge problem.
I don’t think it needs a nn but you could do [name_u]Ali[/name_u], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Liza[/name_f]
I pronounce [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] slightly different. I think it’s fine, I’d probably see it as you clarifying the pronunciation uh-LIE-za instead of eh or ee-LIE-za. It doesn’t seem any more off than [name_f]Alivia[/name_f] is!
I think it might get mispronounced the way you like it initially but I don’t think people would have too much trouble remembering it. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Aliza[/name_f] are similar but I don’t think it would be an issue for cousins, especially if nicknames are distinctive! I think [name_f]Zaza[/name_f] or Z would be a cool nickname option.
I love Aliza Clementine, Aliza June, and Aliza Belle! I have a lot of trouble with girls names, I can’t say I really know what my style is either. I like Seraphina, Saoirse, and Adelaide but they have all been shot down.
