Thoughts of the name Aleeah?

[lemesser6]

I'm having a girl and i am starting ti love the name Aleeah, my friend says it sounds "Chavvy" (i hate that word) but me and my Dh love it.

What's everyone's thoughts?

Do you have Arabic or Muslim heritage?

Your friend is right

I hear the song "More than a woman".

Singer Aaliyah died in a plane crash.

Its a pretty name, only ever seen it spelt Aaliyah though

As many pp have said what I think you’re looking for is Aaliyah. What you’ve spelt looks very much made up and I can see why your friend thought “chavvy” because of that. Spell it correctly and it’s beautiful. What matters in the end is what you and DH love.

Is this a joke I'm missing? Or do you just have one of those accents that inserts a "r" in every word?

I think it's a lovely name.

From the spelling I would pronounce it A LEE ah, is that right?

Aaliyah seems to be a different name, pronounced Ali-a or A-lie-a?

I know it's an accent thing, but it grates on me when people put R's in words that don't have them.

It's a nice name, just not spelled like that.

Looks like one of those names where you turned up pissed at the registry office and spelled it wrong.

@BruceWaynettaSlob hahaha I actually do!

Sipping my cider in a barn as I type.

I would spell it Aaliyah if you’re using the same pronunciation but I think it’s a lovely name

Spelling is chavvy but not the name

It’s looks like a mispronunciation/misspell of the Arabic name Aaliyah (emphasis on the Aa not on the lee)

Changing to a phonetic spelling is chavvy

I know a girl called Aleah. I genuinely wasn't sure how to pronounce it at first.

I know an Aliyah and it’s a lovely name. Just reiterating because it’s 4am and I’m on mumsnet what everyone else has said, which is that it’s your spelling not the name

Not keen, especially with your spelling.

I work with an Aliyah. She's from the Middle East I think. I'm afraid your version does sound a bit made up.

Never three vowels in a row. It's like a terrible round of Countdown.

Just spell it properly.

Is there a reason why you can't spell it conventionally?

Unique / miss spelt names are chavvy sorry OP I'm with your friend on that one

Too many vowels. The Aaliyah spelling or Leah is better.

Sorry, but I also think your version sounds a little made up. Aaliyah Is better Imo.

Really why spell it that way?? Are you prone to this kind of thing, hence your friend's pointed 'chav' comment?
It's a nice name. No need to overkill the vowels. Imagine having to spell that out on the phone all the time.

It's a Middle Eastern name and beautiful when spelt in a traditional format.

I dont like the spelling
