Alaia pronunciation

[Dani2107]

Hi everyone :)

Baby girl is due in few months and husband and myself have struggled choosing a name
The only name we love is Alaia - pronounced as (a-lay-ah) but I’m worried people will pronounce as (a-lie-a)

How would you pronounce it ?

Thank you

I know an Aaliyah, pronounced A- lee- ah.

I really like both ways you can pronounce it. Lovely

I read it as 'A-lie-uh'

Al-eye-ah

I thought Alaya when I first read it

A-liar

I haven't heard it before and my first attempt would be a-lie-ah but if you told me it was a-lay-ah I'd get it right from then onwards!

I would pronounce it as a-lay-ah, I think it's a lovely name

Alaïa is pronounced A-lie-a. A-lay-a is wrong. Sorry. Like pronouncing Zoe or Chloe to rhyme with ‘go’.

Pia is gorgeous.

I'd pronounce it Al-ay-a.
It's ok. I definitely prefer Pia. My daughter has a friend called Pia (she's half Japanese).

A - Lie - ah

If Cher in clueless is anything to go by

A-lie-a

I think this is the fastest rising name in both the U.K. and the US currently. It’s very trendy and going to be popular.

Initially Al lie ah, but then I questioned it and thought maybe A Lee ah.

I would pronounce it as Ah-lie-ah

A-liar

Would put me off

A-lay-a

Sounds lovely! :)
