Spelling for correct pronounciation?

[nickers]

sounds like a nice name!
Arleigh or Arley i would spell it

[alioops]

I think Ahli or Ahlee, it think the R might make it too hard a sound IYKWIM. And I love the letter h Any of those options could swap the R for an H

I too am an Ali, which does rhyme with Sally (I always get called Sally if I am answering the phone with 'This is Ali' or working for a company ending with S, eg Spotless, and say for eg 'Welcome to Spotless Ali speaking' but I digress, a pet hate). When DH and I first got together and his mates saw a love letter from me (aww) they started saying it like Mohammed Ali which was kind of funny in an annoying way.

Vibes and good luck with your decision!!

When I see "Ali" I pronounce it the same as my name Sally hehe

I like "Arlee"
