    I like Layla Rose. I know a couple of Arleah's and, I have to be honest, I'm not a fan.

    Arlea is cute and I personally have never heard of it. I really like Layla too. Not a fan of Lyric but that is sweet that your DD suggested it!

    I was watching on Austar last week the show 'Take home Chef' (with Aussie chef 'Curtis') and he cooked for a woman whom mentioned her DD's name is LYRIC ... hence that her husband is a musician & that's how her DD's name came about

    .... I must say i really love " ARLEA ", it's a gorgeous name

    Aussie actress/singer " Totti Goldsmith's " (Olivia Newton-John's niece) daughter is LAYLA ROSE (I remember her DD had gorgeous blonde curls & i think big brown eyes, she would be about 10 now) !!!!

    I like Layla Rose.

    I think Arlea will be called Ahr-lee all the time.
    For the pronunciation you want I'd use Aaliyah,

    be careful using a name that is hard to pronounce, my real name is not Poppy, no one can correctly prnounce my real name, except my parents, and it is so damn frustrating having to correct everyone all the time.

    If you want a name that means promise why not call your daughter Promise Rose or even Rosalie Promise. Promise is a real name.

    I like Arlea - although I would spell it either Aleya or Aliya.

    Thanks guys Great to get all that feedback.

    As for the spelling of Arlea, it's one of the things I like about it (the way it looks ) - I know that's kind of silly but there you go...

    Aaliyah, I think there is a singer with that name? and it may have a different meaning. there are so many variations on this that are so similar, and yet different...
    I don't mind Arleah. Also Airleas (Air-lee) which is Irish for promise (just re-read the name book & Arlea is Celtic for pledge, basically same thing) but Airleas reminds me of Airlie Beach?

    Also just found Alina, quite like Arlena..and someone the other day suggested Lila...I like Lola...and I actually like Poppy too I think Lyric is off the list, still can't decide but it has given us a bit to think about, thanks guys!
    Keep em coming

    Go for it!

    If you really love the look of Arlea - then I say go for it. I think its lovely either way. Its also the most unique of your choices. Lyric is too literal for me, and although I love Layla - it is becoming increasingly common.
    Arlea Rose is very pretty. Some people may think it's pronounced Arlee, but once they've heard it pronounced correctly, it will be pretty hard to get it wrong.

    Goodluck. X
