I have only met one other person whom named their child Aliyah but they spelled it with another A at the beginning but I have heard a lot of people naming their kids Aleah which is pretty much the'same but with different spellings.

My Niece's name is Aliya. She was named after Alia in the movie, "Dunes". My brother and sister-in-law didn't know how to spell it, so they came up with Aliya. We pronounce it Al-Lee-Yah, but her'schoolmates call her Ah-lee-ah. Hope they don't read this - hehehe.
I want to name my daughter as aaliyah, i like this name a lot because the name'starts with a and the meaning is too good.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter I never thought of another name than Aaliyah. I loved the singer and the sound of her name just flowed so beautifully. My daughter Aaliyah couldn't have carried any other name like this. She sings all the time just like Miss Aaliyah Haughten (RIP). One of my favorite names of all time.
I love the name Aaliyah but i prefer the'spelling Aliya, It's simple and not too complicated to spell. I want to name my future daughter this name but im not sure since It's not common where i live. I searched how many people with the name Aliya and it is only 217 have that name.

this name is awsome i fell in love with it since Aaliyah (african american singer) died. she not only sang beautiful but was too young (22) to die. regardless of the meaning or origin. We are now planning on having our second child in hope that GOD rewards us with a beautiful girl because we have a wonderful smart 4 year old. If we do have a girl we will name her AALIYAH! If we have a boy we will be just as glad but will have to be prepared.
im goin to name my daughter Aa'Liyah i love this name'so much and cant wait to call out to her, im gonna call her liyah for short ^-^ LOVE THIS NAME!
I LOVE this name because it is my name. I was born in the 70's and I only knew one other girl with the'same name. My parents researched the name because it was not very popular in the United Stated at the time. I spell it AALIYAH and pronounce it R-LE-YAH. My parents chose the Turkish pronunciation, so it is already Europeanized. In Arabic, "AA" makes an "R" sound because there is no "uh" sound in Arabic. The Arabic pronunciation is AL-LE-YAH. I feel empowered knowing that my name means ıthe female version of Allahı (not goddess).
My name is Aailiyah pronounced Ah-lee-yuh but most people spell it wrong or pronounce it wrong. I am eight years old and I get compliments every year on my name. :-)
YEAH MY NAME IS ALSO YADIRA AND I USUALLY TELL PEOPLE TO CALL ME YAYA. WHICH SOMETIMES THEY MAKE FUN OF THAT TO. LIKE MY COUSINS SAY LIKE "YA YAYA YA" I USE TO WORK IN A CHILD CARE AND THE KIDS HAD TO CALL ME MRS. YAYA
We are naming our baby girl born in November Kaia, we saw the name on a shop assistants name tag and asked her how you pronounce it. We fell in love with the name.
my name is aaliyah and its one of the best names ever ....it means the'smartest most liked and perfect one its a blessing to have this name especially if u where born after the'singer aaliyah died because she is a legend and you could be lucky to be named after her.....if u don't like it then you should just shut up and bud out ...that's all I gotta say
There was a Hawaiian princess named alia. The name in Hawaiian means great joy. I once met a Hawaiian boy with the name Alia, so I guess it can be unisex there. Anyway, my name is Aleah and I love it. I always have. And it has only been the last few years that I have heard of anyone else having it.
yes my name is abigail actually when I was little almost no one was named abigail and every time I told someone my name they would say how pretty the name was. my mom said she named me abigail because it wasn't in the most popular baby names at that time but now abigail is a really popular name and everyone started naming their kids that after i was born so we say my mom brought the trend back
Pavement cycling fginhters pedestriansPavements are for pedestrians. And people using thepavement have the right to feel safe and protected fromtraf❤️c, including bicycles.You may feel that you are doing no harm by cycling onthe pavement. And you may feel con❤️dent that you willnot injure or hurt anyone.But pedestrians don't share your con❤️dence. Becausewhile you know where you and your bike are going,they do not, and may beli've they are in danger.It's not easy for pedestrians to predict your exact route.They could be worried about a number of things:• Is the cyclist headed for the'same area of pavementas me❤️• Has the cyclist seen me❤️• Will the cyclist slow down as they get closer❤️• Will the cyclist be skilled enough to avoid me if theydon't slow down❤️Cycling on the pavement can be even more threateningto people with poor balance. Many of these people areolder or disabled and have a constant fear of falling.Cycling on the pavement simply adds to this fear.There is an epidemic of cyclists on the pavements in Weybridge.
Your all going on about how no one pronounces it right! How is it pronounced❤️
i love this name i had to pick something fast for my daughter because i didnt know i was having her so i looked on the net and seen this name aaliyah and fell in love with it. but when i frist seen it the name was hebrew than i meet some people who where muslims and told me that its a muslim name and it had a hole differnt meaning in its name. but really i dont care where its from or what it means i really love this name and at the time i didnt know the singer aaliyah i just loved this name all the way so it should matter if u like it than use it no one asks the meaning or where it came from... thats what i think any ways
I called my baby girl born on the 19th march 09 Aaliyah Kusuma. I love the name.
My name is Aaliyah. I was Aaliyah before they called the late singer Aaliyah. Many people dont realize her real name wasnt Aaliyah but was Aeliyatt Dana Haughton. Aaliyah, Aeliyatt and Aliyah are of arabic origin and Aleah is of hebrew origin. There is a late princess named Aaliyah and a verse from a holy book with this name in it. People tend to mispronouce my name because the'singer Aaliyah misspronounced it, but the 'a' is actually not pronounced with an 'uh' but more of a throaty short 'a' sound as in 'apple'. Its a beautiful name that means sublime, lofty, up high (status). Most Aaliyahs are graceful,pretty and kind. Not to be confused with Aliyah/Aliyyah which is a different name which is the female version of Ali and pronounced the'same as Ali but with ofcourse a different ending. *Please keep in mind when you pronounce a name from different origins, mispronouncing it can change the meaning tremendously, where a name can mean truthful,it can be mispronounced to mean ugly for example. Research is always a good option, for children live up to their names. Just a thought!. Shot out to all my Aaliyah's in the world!
My SIsters name is Aaliya and I am Elisha, I like her name better!!!
I love the name Aaliyah, no matter where it comes from =]]] It will be one of my name considerations if I have a girl when I get married.
Terrible name with an awful spelling! Doesn't look attractive at all!
My baby girls name is Aaliyah, pronounced A-Lee-YA. Some people get muddled up with how its said, and pronunce it with an E at the beginning (Ell-I-ya) but every1 comments on how unusal and beautiful the name is. I love it.
My name is pronounced the'same but It's spelled Alliah. I like that way but people get confused.
I love that name. Im pregnant of a girl and I really have it in mind. I dont really care about its origin but as long as it has a positive meaning Im cool with it. Besides I love the late singer Aaliyah, she was talented and beautiful. I'm sure my daughter will look much like her. My husband is nigerian and we want to give her Osariemen as her middle name, it means Gods gift. Aaliyah Osariemen... It sounds good
I really like the name Aaliya, but I wonder if I can spell It'some other way.
I love the name Aaliyah!!! Not only because one of the most influencial people in my life (Aaliyah Dana Haughton) was named that but because its of Hebrew origin. I'd like to name my first daughter Aaliyah but so many people already have and that ruins it. :(
My eldest daughters name is Aaliah 4 years. we spelt it differently though, we love the name and our spelling as well as the traditional spelling... She is a beautiful little girl 2 match a beautiful name..
my name is also aliyah..people who arent familiar with it pronounce it A-lie-ah..it makes me kinda upset, sound it out what sounds better to you❤️❤️❤️!! its what i feel like saying to those people. but i love my name!!
Actually there is the AA in arabic makes the hard A sound, there is definately the 'uh' sound in arabic. Secondly, Aliah is the female version of the name Ali. It means noble or highly exhaulted.
My niece is named Aaliyah (pronounce AH-lee-yah with the'stress on the first syllable) and she'says people often mispronounce her name. She does not meet a lot of people with her name. She was named after the'singer Aaliyah.
Aaliyah Haughton is the princess. She is the highest, most exalted one. RIP BABYGIRL I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH

My name Is Aaliyah its a nice name too have better then what my Mom was Gonna name me A lot of people pronounce it wrong but most of the time its right and I prefer to be called Lili or Liya ...♥♥❇
the correct way to pronounce it is: /hee-men'-ah/ In Spanish, X has 3 different sounds: /h/, /sh/ and /ks/. In this case, it takes the pronunciation of /h/. Of course... if you are a Spanish speaking person, this phonetics will not sound exactly right, but for English speakers, this is the closest we can get. It is a beautiful name and It's nice to make our best effor to pronounce it properly. By the way, I'll name my baby girl: XIMENA
is my niece's name. I love it! And my niece too. :)

And not to mention the'spelling!! I have never met anyone who hasn't asked me to spell out my name as they write it. Teache's just give up and spell whatever. Besides, making a four year old suffer through writing out A-a-l-i-y-a-h is just cruel. i've gone by Leah for twelve years because I refuse to have someone say ❤️a-liar❤️ as they read my name tag and have all my colleagues laugh.

The correct pronunciation of the name Caleigh is KAY-LEE. Like a previous poster'said, It's derived from the Gaelic word Ceilidh. I hate that people can't say it correctly, but I knew that would possibly be the case before naming my daughter. I hope she doesn't mind too much!
I love it because its my name and when people like my crush forget my name ots romantic!
Would not know how to spell it until I was told. Too weird a name
If you were to sass the teacher would you care❤️ Not Aaliyah she is too PERFECT! And she has enough money to buy the whole ministry so why is she'stalling❤️ My head hurts just thinking of that brat and her goody two shoes brother, Gooby. Why does Gooby care enough to buy a store of ice tiaras❤️ They might as well be dung for all I care!
