I don’t think the spelling solves your problem! All of the spellings could be pronounced either Kaal-ee-a or Kal-ee-a. Of all the alternatives you’ve given, I prefer Kaliya. I wouldn’t have any of the options with an ‘h’. When she’s little, you’ll tell people how it’s pronounced, and when she’s older, she will! It’s a pretty name, but not one I’ve come across.
