How would you pronounce this girls name?

[cerena]

This is the name I have picked out for my 1st daughter but I'm worried people will mis-pronounce it constantly (have had that problem with my own name and know it can be annoying!)

Aaliyah

This is the only spelling I like and I prefer it said as 'ali-AH' to rhyme with Tahlia rather than ah-LEE-ah'

What do you think? Do you like this name?

Also, which is nicer - Aaliyah Jade (Jade is my middle name) or Aaliyah Naseem (Naseem is my mum's name)

 

[fairy_gem]

I would pronounce it Ah-lie-ah....not sure if i am pronouncing it correctly.

I like it, its cute.

I think Jade sits better with Aaliyah, but i like the idea of your mums name as the middle name.
