AAH-lee-ah. The double A makes me want to put the emphasis on the first syllable.

A-lee-yah

I have one, shes ah-LEE-ah

Aaliyah is pronounced ah-LEE-ah, with the emphasis on the middle syllable.

The double a does not denote a particularly long first syllable.

I've always pronounced it A-Lee-A but got told off by one of my pupils who corrected me to Aah-Lee-aah

Ah-lee-ah

I know a few.

I think Aaah-li-uh is the right one. But there are other variations of pronunciation for this one.So its really your choice of pronunciation if you are looking to name it to your DD.

A-leah, as others said, like the singer.
