Alia 1

This was almost my middle name! I think it’s very pretty and graceful :D.

Very pretty!

I think that this name is very pretty. I have a lot or Arab and Muslim friends and one of them is name Alia but she goes by Lia or Lialia, pronounced 'lee-a-lee-ah'. Super cute!

Meh. It’s decent. I still prefer Aaliyah for some reason. This isn’t pronounced like Aaliyah though. Alya is cooler.

Beautiful!

The nickname Ali is absolutely adorable!

Cute nickname for something more formal like Aliana.

Way, way better than Aaliyah. Prettier! Alia Shelesh is a YouTuber SSSniperWolf.

It's nice.

Pretty!

My daughter's name is Alia Renée, and I love it so much! I think it is spelt beautifully, and I love how short, simple and pretty the spelling is.

Very beautiful.

Easier to spell than Aaliyah.

I love this name, and I have seen it spelled A'lia.

Alia is a very beautiful, elegant, and gentle soft name! It will definitely age well on a girl!

I like this name a lot! It's more feminine than Ali, and sleeker than Aaliyah. It manages to sound both ancient and modern at the same time.

My daughter's name is Alia Sage.

I think that this is a beautiful name, especially since I know an awesome person who bears this name, and it sounds prettier than the name "Ala" which bears a similar meaning.

This spelling is less confusing then Aaliyah.

I would pronounce it ALLY-ah, to rhyme with valley, because in my opinion if you want to call your child a-LEE-yah, Aaliyah is a prettier name.

This is my 6 year old cousin's name, and she's so adorable! I love this name. She pronounces it Ah-lee-ah. It's usually spelled Aaliyah, but she spells it differently. :) "ALIA"

I absolutely love this name. I also like the spelling Aliyah, but Alia is really my favorite. It reminds me of a sweet little girl, probably because of six-year-old Alia in the book series The Shadow Children, written by Margaret Peterson Haddix.

This is a pretty, feminine, not-overused name.

Impression: Sheds new light on any dilemma, quietly brave and fiercely loyal, applauds the efforts of others, dramatic in her ways, ponders great issues and finds solutions, a fearless adversary, does not hesitate to get involved, she enhances her looks with a smile.
