Former coworker announced her new daughter's name on Facebook. I can't even decide how she's pronouncing this name.Kilyeah GraceOlder brothers are Amari & Bently.No idea how she's saying it, but I keep seeing "Kill yeah."

I love Amari. If I had to guess, I'd imagine Kilyeah is pronounced like Kylie with an A at the end. Ky-LEE-uh.

Haha..."Kill yeah" is unfortunate. I'd assume it's like kil-EE-ah. Caliya and variant spellings of it seem to be fairly popular in my town with African-American kids. My friend has a Caliya and I met a Kaleeah at the local school when I was doing a workshop.

Yes, I'd think Kaleeah is how I'd pronounce it, after trying out a few in a whisper.

I'm guessing keye-lee-ah? That's a really pretty sound. The spelling is unfortunate.

This name is so off-kilter that I stayed awake for like two hours last night trying to figure out the prn., but I've finally settled on it sounding like Kylie. Amari sounds like Atari or the clothing brand Armani, and Bentley / Bently is a dog name. lol

Ick. Sounds like "kill your grace." Amari and Bentley are pretty bad, too.

I'm guessing its a strange spelling of Kaileah, which most of the time is pronounced Kai-Leah.

It's so bad I actually did a double-take to see if it spelled anything backwards like one of those awful Nevaeh-type names. Nope.My GUESS is kye-LEE-ah, but tbh I have no clue.
