Aaliyah or Mia ?

Mia

Mia. But I’m the pragmatic type, Aaliyah is likely to involve a lifetime of spelling it for people, which would drive me insane.

Aaliyah

The other option will be a lifetime of spelling and pronunciation pain

Mia, without a doubt.

Mia

Mia is ok. I taught a lovely Aaliyah. It's not the type of name I would choose but the more I said it, the more I like it ( she was a character, so I said it a lot !). I think the double a puts me off. Aliah ?

I don't particularly like either, but Mia is the better of the two.

Aaliyah

Mia is a bit nothingy

Aaliyah - I'd guess a muslim background and I'm not sure how to say it - Is it Al-ee-ah, Ah-lee-ya or Ali-yah? Too complicated.

Mia's been overused.

I prefer the sound of Aaliyah but agree with others that there are likely to be spelling issues, although personally I'm familiar with it due to the singer by that name. What about Alia?

Mia

You might also like Anya?

Mia

Or have you considered Allegra?

Aaliyah, but then I don’t like Mia I consider it a bit common,

Mia. Aaliyah will be misspelt as not everyone remembers the singer.

Of the two, Mia.

I'm not particularly keen on Mia, but I agree with Lost and others about the spelling.
So, of the two, then Mia.

Both are great. Also, Aaliyah has different variations such as Alia, Aliyah, Alia, Aleah, Aleia, Alya and Aliyya.
