Comments for the name Alya

Alya is the name of one of the two named stars in the constellation Serpens. The star Alya is also know as Theta Serpentis.

For native English speakers this name can be difficult to pronounce; most people will get it completely wrong. In my family it is alternately pronounced 'al-ya', 'a-li-a', or 'a-li-ya'. Unfortunately many people who read the name will get it wrong (I've been referred to as ala and many other very obviously incorrect pronunciations.), and many will simply use a common English name instead (being referred to as Alice is quite offensive).

Alya seems like a pretty name. I like it pronounced Al-ya or Al-i-ya.

A friend of mine (she's from Syria) is named Alyah and she pronounces her name AL-e-uh. I think her name is very pretty.

Alya is the main character of a book i am writing called double sky. here is just some info on the book:
Double sky is a Fascinating world where there is a island in the sky,
where people are forced to forget their life on the ground, which includes things like cars, trains,
and all the other modern tech except for a small use of electricity that often runs out. But as your
normal 17 year old sky-islander Alya gets a job of gathering pails of water for their supply, she
starts to remember her other life, and has to go on a quest she never even dreamed of after
meeting two unlikely friends.
