[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is the most popular form of the name, but I would prefer something more simple I think
Well it’s a variation of [name_f]Alia[/name_f], so how about that? Or maybe [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f] or [name_f]Aalia[/name_f]. [name_f]Alia[/name_f] seems to be the most simplest one but I prefer the double A’s for some reason. But the double A’s, the Y, and the H all together seem a bit much, so I understand why you’d want to simplify it. It’s a gorgeous sounding name. I would personally probably go with [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Alia[/name_f] ~ I think it’s a prettiest spelling.
I prefer [name_f]Alia[/name_f] ~ I think it’s a pretty spelling.
I prefer [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] for Arabic or [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f] for Hebrew.
[name_f]Alia[/name_f] is another legit Arabic name but calling [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] a mispelling/variant only isn’t really right. They’re spelled differently in Arabic. علياء and عالية (I don’t know if those fonts will come out on this site).
To me, I totally get not liking kreative Y’s jammed into names where they don’t go, ([name_f]Madisyn[/name_f]?) but I don’t really like chopping them out of traditional transliterations. A bit like chopping [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] to Elzbet to make it shorter?
I slightly gravitate to [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f], but I would probably go with [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] as the most popular legit spelling, in a way that makes it the simplest.
I’ve seen [name_f]Aleeah[/name_f] but find it awful.
[name_f]Aliya[/name_f] is also another spelling that’s grown on me.
I prefer the ‘[name_f]Alia[/name_f]’ spelling. I think it looks really simple and elegant. The other spellings are fine, but I prefer that for some reason.
[name_f]Aliyah[/name_f] is my preferred spelling.
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is my favourite, but if you want to go simple then I like [name_f]Aleah[/name_f] (it gives a straight-forward pronunciation of it), [name_f]Alea[/name_f], [name_f]Alia[/name_f] or [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f].
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is one of those names that is really pretty to say but always looks terrible when written. There isn’t any spelling that looks good. I think the least offensive is probably [name_f]Aleah[/name_f] - simple and too the point. [name_f]Aliya[/name_f] might be the next best.
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is my nieces name and she hates the spelling because no one gets it right. [name_m]Even[/name_m] family members! I would use [name_f]Alia[/name_f].
I agree it’s a gorgeous sounding name, and even though [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is the most popular spelling variation I would choose to go with [name_f]Alia[/name_f]. Something about this way of spelling it just looks so clean and simple and with a shorter version of the name you could always chose to go with a middle name that is longer
I like [name_f]Aliya[/name_f] best. I think I would pronounce [name_f]Alia[/name_f] a bit differently… like ali-ah instead of ah-lee-ah.
The most complicated, [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], and the simplest, [name_f]Alia[/name_f], are my favorites (though I understand the meanings are slightly different?) I pronounce them the same.
Mine is [name_f]Aleeah[/name_f] . [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is too complicated.
I like [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]. I find it rather easy because for me it’s so tied to [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] Haughton who I listened to growing up that it’s the only way I imagine it written.
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is probably my favourite spelling, because of the late singer [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] Haughton. I like [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f] as well though.
When I first saw the OP I thought “there’s another way to spell it?”
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] would be my natural inclination, and if I heard the name that’s how is spell it. I do expect it to be pretty well known and spelled because of famous bearers and it’s fairly common usage in English speaking countries, but I imagine perhaps in areas without larger black/Arabic speaking minority populations, people may spell it differently?
I like [name_f]Aleah[/name_f]
[name_f]Alia[/name_f] is my favorite spelling.
