Hey, I'm looking for a name for a girl. We've already found two names, but we just can't decide. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

    I think Lila is really the cutest name! Aliyyah has a nice sound, but I'd spell it differently. Earlier as Aliya.

    I think Aliyyah is the prettiest, but only if it's spelled as Aliyah.
    Aliyyah looks like you made a spelling/typing mistake.
    My name is Isabell; my mom liked it better because it's less standard than Isabel. But literally no one has ever spelled it correctly on the first try in my whole life (and I'm already 36).
    I think the same would be true for Aliyyah.

    I think Lila is prettier. With Aliyyah, I don’t get the two y’s. I don’t see the added value except that it looks weird and also raises the question of how to pronounce it.

    I think Aliyyah is the prettiest, but as Isabell also pointed out, spelled as Aliyah.

    Aliyyah feels too Turkish to me. I know someone with that name of Turkish descent.
    So I’d rather go for Lila, even though it’s also a color.
