How would you pronounce this name?
I recently heard of a friend of a friend who will be using this name for a boy.

I love this!My natural inclination initially read it as Aliyus - (long 'A' as in Allison / Alison) with the strongest accent on the first syllable, progressively weakening with each successive syllable. I've also read the other responses and can certainly understand those as well - but seem to be inclined to **Hiddlestoner's** reading.

My first reaction to reading the name was that it sounds exactly like the word ' alias '

Uh-lee-us. It looks like a masculine form of Aliyah.
