Was it really?Whenever they played her on the radio, they said ah-LYE-yah.Array
And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore
The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
And the young people ask, "What are they marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question

I'm near you! Or was at least - I originally from the Chicago burbs. Yah, it could've been the DJ or the accent or something, who knows :) I was a big fan though, trust me :) lol

No, Aaliyah like the name.It's way more established than just being the name of a singer. Click the link Aaliyah if you're interested in its origin.
