As in variation on Alyona, and because of charcter in Shakespeare, not because aliens.
I would pronounce it A-lee-en-a. I dont mind slight variation in pronunciation, but do care that middle two syllables are pronounced lee-en.

Do you think Aliena is usable? I like Celia, as well, but not as Aliena.

Dear God, please don’t.

Everleigh13 · 17/09/2024 10:56

I wouldn’t use that name to be honest. I think the alien association is too much.

CrossUniStudent · 17/09/2024 10:55

I'd probably pronounce that a-leen-a.

What about alyiena?

FourForYouGlenCoco1 · 17/09/2024 10:50

I immediately thought of Shakespeare, but I think you’d get a LOT of mispronouncing.

Spelt that way, they are always going to be called Alien and the many many many jokes that will go alongside that.

If you want Aleena, call them Aleena
