I prefer Dahlia, as the more familiar spelling and pronunciation; there seems to be no good reason to use a Spanish/Arabic version unless one actually is either Spanish or Arabic. And a Dalia person outside Spanish or Arab contexts will have a lot of explaining to do, all her life. Not worth the effort.

That said, it's not a flower name that I particularly enjoy. I don't like most of them, and this isn't one.
