AHL as in alternate

AL, as in Alfie

AL as in Alfie. This was the name of a distant cousin of my grandpa. She and her husband stole a bunch of stuff from my grandpa after he had a stroke and wasn't thinking quite right. Somehow I still like Alta though.

Of course Alta was a distant cousin of mine too but I'm not claiming her.

Al-tuh. Your welcome.

AL-ta, like cat or rat.

It's only used by Afrikaans speakers where I live, and so it's always AHLtah.

Hi !!!

Alta? It means "high, tall" in Italian!

---

I pronounce it with an AH sound I suppose even if the the Italian "a" is in a middle step between AH and A.

---

This name surprised me but I can't see it used here, it is a too common word.

I much prefer Altea (Althea).

AHL, the Spanish way

Al

Like alternate. Or like tall in Spanish.
