What do you think of [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] (yoo-lay-lee) as name? I consider it a southern classic. It is pretty, sweet, and unique. I like that it isn’t fusty or frilly, but still appealing and ALL grown up feeling. But with the revival of older names coming into fashion, it isn’t one of the more appealing names chosen by most parents today. [name_m]Will[/name_m] it stand out in a bad way?
I really like [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], it’s lovely. I’ve seen it across name forums for a few years now, it might be becoming more popular than you think.
I definitely prefer it to [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]. I like it’s [name_m]French[/name_m] pn ‘‘OO-lah-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]’’ a lot more as well, but that’s not really viable outside [name_f]France[/name_f] I don’t think.
I like it! I think it is great.
I love [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]! So sweet and feminine sounding, without being overly frilly and cutesy. I think it’ll stand out in a good way. I’ve seen it in use quite a bit on forums.
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] is the name of a poem by [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u], so a nice literary connection there (gah [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] sound perfect together too). [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] is a Saints name as well, [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] being the [name_m]French[/name_m] version.
According to wikipedia, [name_m]Saint[/name_m] [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] did not have a nice end, but, when she died, a dove is said to have flown out of her body. (Eulalia of Barcelona - Wikipedia)
The name seems to have a lot of strong connections going for it, I say go for it! xx
I like [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], although I slightly prefer [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]. It does feel very southern, but in a good way. I wouldn’t say it’s becoming popular by any means (the reason it’s popping up here is most likely because parents who come to a site like nameberry tend to put more thought into finding a special or maybe different/unique kind of name, if that makes sense?).
I really like [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and also the related [name_f]Eudora[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are fresh and elegant, definitely due for a comeback!
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] is Southern? [name_f]Eula[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] ‘yoo-la lee’ would be a classic Southern choice but not ‘yoo-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-lee’. I prefer ‘oh-lah-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]’ or ‘yoo-lah-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]’ because ‘yoo-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-lee’ sounds like ukulele or shillelagh
I love the sweet simplicity of [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. The pronunciation may vary, but most site quote yoo-lay-lee or oo-leh-lee. But she can always go by [name_f]Eula[/name_f] for short. either way its still a very pretty name that would be great to use. Thank you for all your comments and encouragement on [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. Now I just need to figure out the middles. If you have suggestion please share them. I’m Considering: Adolphine and [name_f]Ernestine[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f]…maybe all three together?
I sort of hate it, sorry. It’s pronounced You-lay-lee here and I just can’t find anything attractive about it at all.
On the other hand, Nameberry founder, [name_f]Pam[/name_f], recently wrote an article predicting the popular names of the next generation, and [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] was on it. Maybe I’m just old. Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums
I have so much love for [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], its so beautiful. I tend to say YOU-lally instead of You-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-lee but I love it either way. [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] have always seemed particularly lovely to me with nickname [name_f]Lolly[/name_f] or [name_f]Lally[/name_f]. Unfortunately my husband can’t appreciate its old-lace charm so it never made it onto one of our shortlists
