I would guess Owl-ee-yuh if I had to.
My kids have boring names that everyone knows how to say...

squoosh · 23/11/2017 18:03

I'd say aah-LEE-ya like the singer.

Although some are AAH-lee-ya like the character on Corrie.

A-leah

MaddeningtheUnhelpful · 23/11/2017 18:11

There's a girl at youngest DS nursery, her parents pronounce it 'ah-lay-ah' No idea what would be 'correct' though...

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/11/2017 18:13

A-Leah. I know one. She's absolutely beautiful both inside and out.
