How would u pronounce

Hi all :-)
Hubby and I have finally agreed on a name...

Aleea ( A-Leah) but I am now concerned on how people will pronounce it ... And if people will get it confused with Arlia/ Aaliyah ( Ah-lee-a)

I'd pronounce it A-Leah...

I would pronounce it kind of like ally-a

A-Leah

Ah-Leah. And yes, I see the way you spell it as a variation of the same name as the others you mentioned.

My initial thought is this.

I would pronounce it A-Leah..I have a friend who named her daughter Aaliyah (I thought it was said A-Lie-Ah) but they pronounce it A-Leah as well..Lovely named and I much prefer your spelling

I didn't even think of it till I was telling a friend we had decided on Aleea and She said " oh yeah, we liked that name but we were going to pronounce it Ar-lee-a ..... " I thought they were two different names and didn't even make the connection till then lol ....
