I know one spelled Aleya - and I by far like that spelling the best of all of them.

I recognize Aaliyah, but I like the Alia spelling better, and I do think it's obvious how to pronounce it.

paigevz, you took the sentiments right out of my mouth...lol I was just about to post the exact same thing-that I would say Aaliyah might be the most recognizable, but I like Alia so much and still think it will be clear how to pronounce it...so my vote went to Alia :)

For me it's between Aleeyah and Alia. I couldn't figure out the 1st name until I read the others!

Depends if you're pronouncing it:

Ah-lee-ah

Ah-lee-yah

Ahl-yah

I like:

Aliya the best

Aaliyah is indeed the most recognizable, and of course brings to mind the talented singer who died so tragically. But I voted for Alia - simple and lovely. My second surrogate girl was given Alia as her middle name. Her parents also liked the meaning - I believe it was something like "rising light" in Hebrew. Best of luck to you!
