Alaia

[rachelgrace]

How would you pronounce Alaia?

A-laya or maybe A-liar

Sounds like a garlic based dip.

A-laya.

Ah- lie- ah.

Like Azzedine Alaïa
Fabulous!

As it's spelled: A lai a (Ah lye ah)

Uh liar ?

Ah lye ah

There's no R at the end

Other kids will all say A Liar.

Uh-laya

But then I watch the Ace Family

Why would the first syllable be Uh and not Ah?

@Pippilangstrumpfi the same way I’d say the a in ‘do you want a drink?’ - more uh than like ah in car??

I’m completely guessing though

The ai would make me say A liar. Alaya would be nicer.

@Pippilangstrumpfi correct. There is no R at the end. But you don't pronounce the R really when you say liar. Most pronounce it liah.

We're just pointing out that it sounds like 'a liar'.

Yes @AverageMummy that’s what I mean

I pronounce the r when saying liar because there’s an r at the end. Why wouldn’t you?

Uh lay a

Oh FFS yet ANOTHER thread where some idiot makes a comment about pronouncing the r. For me, and many, many others, ar sounds exactly the same as ah (car, ta, haha all rhyme).

Ah-lie-uh
(to rhyme with 'a fire' )

Really pretty name!

and I've just looked up the meaning(s): 'sublime' and 'joyful'.
What's not to like?

I wasn't saying they are idiotic for thinking they're different.

The point is that the pp says 'there's no r, why would you pronounce one?'

Have these people seriously never heard any accent that doesn't?

We considered it pronounces Ah-la-ee-ah the Spanish way

A-liar. Not good.

Gorgeous name.

Ah-Lee-a
