If you get rid of the unnecessary 'h' at the end, Lilyana is my favorite of these 5.

Natalia is very pretty as well.

In order of preference: Lilyanah, Natalia, Izabella, Zoey, Naomi.

I would pronounce Lilyanah the same way I'd pronounce Lilliana (the spelling of which I prefer).

In order I like Natalia, Naomi, Zoey and then wayyyyyy after those would be Lilyanah and Izabella.  I strongly dislike your spellings and am so over names with Lily as a NN.

With those spellings, Naomi and Natalia.  Naomi would probably be my favorite in any case; it's a nice, classic biblical name that I don't see all that often.

The others would be fine spelled Liliana (which I would pronounce the way you want it), Isabella, and Zoe.  I know some ancient Greek and the -y at the end of Zoe really bugs me because it is not there in the original language.  Please do not change the spellings of legit names just to get the pronunciation you want.

Lilyanah would get my vote - but I really don't like that spelling. I prefer the traditional Lilliana.

If you spell Liliana correctly, that gets my vote. If not, then Natalia.

There are definitely times where varied spellings are common (i.e., Brittany and Britney), and then there are others that (at least for me) suggest poor education (i.e., Brittanee). But then again, that's just my opinion/natural reaction to odd spellings.

You *can* choose to spell your children's names however you like, but that doesn't mean there aren't correct/traditional spellings. And it also doesn't mean that people won't judge you and your children for the yooneek spelling.

Lilyanah Grace..Liliana is nice. And yes, lily..ah..na

Naomi Grace..nms

Zoey Grace..it's very juvenile to me but I do like it.

Natalia Grace..like it but has a foreign feel.

Izabella Grace..Isabella is nice. The "z" screams teen mom to me.

I like Naomi and Zoey. I like a little different spellings sometimes, so you could try Naiomi, Zoe, or my preference, Zooey like Zooey Deschannel. C:

Well, for example, the name Zoe is a Greek word that means "life."  When you name your child, you have the legal right to spell her name with a y if you like, but the 3000-year-old language that gave you the name disagrees with you.

Zoey Grace

I think if you used just one n with "Lilyanah" that would work since 2 n's would make it "Anna" maybe: Liliana

Lilyanah is a very odd and confusing way to spell a name... People will be able to pronounce it just fine if its spelled Liliana (Lilly-Ana).

I'd go with Izabella, but again, the spelling.. really? Isabella will suffice.

This, there is many reasons to avoid spelling a name "any way you want" or to "your preference".  One being, it will always be spelled incorrectly, the other it looks ridiculous and your child will have to deal with that for the rest of their life.  I like Zoe and Natalia on your list.

Zoey is my favorite - one that I'm thinking about as well! 

Natalia is very pretty, and so is Lilyanah (although that spelling is too much for me, I prefer Liliana). And I'd pronounce it Lily-ah-na.

I'm not a fan of Naomi, and I like Izabella (but not with a z, much less harsh-looking with an s), but I think it's become way too popular...
