I'm not sure if you're familiar with the pop culture reference or not but I always associate the name with the singer
Aaliyah.
( she made a point of saying it was to be pronounced ALL-e-ah NOT ah-Lee-ah)
My mom would listen to her music when I was growing up and I was very sad when she died. 2001 was a tough year in general culturally in the US ha.
It's sad she died so young but it is also worth noting she really loved her name and tried to "wear it well" and I think that is beautiful. She has one of the best celebrity name stories I've ever heard
Please rate my "Names I would use" list if you have a spare moment, feel free to rate other lists too if you want but ik there's a lot, thank you :)
