Help[Opinions] Re: Aaliyah
in reply to a message by LapinLavender
I don't like it. It reminds me of the singer. I have no problem with her (she was famous when I was really little so I don't remember her or any of her songs very much) but it has become a bit of a one-person-name, kind of like Madonna or Beyoncé. Also, I watched a documentary about R. Kelly recently and he was a terrible person and apparently also had an underage-sexual relationship with Aaliyah which I now also think of when I hear the name (just to be clear, I see her as a victim and it is 100% his fault, it just makes me think of the whole R. Kelly scandal which is bad).
Apart from that the sound is okay but a bit insubstantial. It sounds kind of boring but looks super extravagant. Too many As.
However, I think I would like it much better with a different spelling. Alia is kind of cute, for example. I also like Alya (but it is pronounced differently).
What I also hate is all the spelling variants. Aaliyah has an etymology, so do Aliyah and Alia. But Aleeah, Aleah etc. seems so trendy (A and Leah) and the name feels boring.
So I vote for Alia but I'd rather use another name.
