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

uh-LEE-us or uh-LIE-us
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.
a-LEE-yoos
