[Opinions] Re: Alaia and Anais
I'm not familiar with Alaia. It looks very pretty and has a sweet meaning. How is it pronounced? "ah-LAY-a?" "ah-lah-EE-a?" Another way?Anais is irresistable to me. I love names with two distinct vowel sounds together. You might like the name Aelia. I heard / read it first in "I, Claudius." She was a minor character, but her name stuck with me. They (BBC) pronounced it "AY-lia." It is an ancient Roman name. The male conterpart is Aelius.
