    How do you pronounce it :o

    Is it 'Al-ay-a May'?

    Not trying to be rude, I've just not seen the name before. I didn't know how to pronounce Una's daughters name, Aoife, at first either.

    Lovely name - just goes to show that you can call your child an unusual name without choosing something odd or strange.

    That's how I would pronounce it. Logically it's either that or A-lie-a (as in lie rather than lay) but I would assume it's 'lay' as it creates a much softer, prettier sound.

    Could be wrong though!

    So it's pronounced a-liar? When I first saw the name written down, I assumed it would be pronounced a-layer. Although this is coming from someone who read Harry Potter for the first time and thought Hermione was pronounced Her-Me-Own :o

    You too?! :eek: Makes me feel a bit better. Even now when I see it written down, I pronounce it Her-me-own in my head :o I kept thinking what a stupid name it was when I was reading the first book.

    Thank you, I did think it was either that or an alternate spelling of Aaliyah.

    This made me laugh, not at you for pronouncing it wrong, but for thinking you were alone :)

    Glad it wasn't just me. My son is called Mekai "meh-khi" & people tend to mispronounce it, so I always try to get other peoples names right.

    Give over! Why can't celebs call their kids something normal like Valerie or Susan? ;)

    I love the name. Different isn't necessarily a bad thing.
    Congratulations to them.

    Aaliyah, but just spelt in a different way.
