I've recently come across this name, it's a rare Medieaval Italian name mentioned in Dante's Divine Comedy. It's pronounced A-LA-ja.

WDYT? I find it a bit OTT to use, but it's kinda cool.

No idea, should investigate. It's very uncommon.

It looks pretty and interesting, but the pronunciation makes me think: 'A larger what?'

While it sounds okay, when I looked at it it reminded me of algae!

I like it! To me, it sounds sophisticated when I say it and regal when I see it written down. Plus, it's unusual, but not too hard to spell or pronounce.
