Elyria?

What are your thoughts of the name Elyria? I pronounce it ill-ee-ree-yuh. Still not sure on the spelling.

TIA!

To me [name_f]Illyria[/name_f] would be more intuitive for this pronunciation, but it’s pretty!

Isnt this the name of the afterlife in Greek mythology? [name_u]Or[/name_u] was it the big bad evil antagonist in the TV show [name_u]Angel[/name_u] who kills and takes over Fred’s body? Wouldnt use it for a person.

I love Elyria! I saw it on a map as a kid and tucked it away as a fantastical sounding name.
