How do YOU pronounce Vela?

I’ve actually vetoed two of these for this name, (I’m not saying which ones to avoid influencing the votes, but feel free to PM me if you’re curious!) but I want to know what you think! ^^

Which one?
  • Vay-luh
  • Vee-luh
  • Vehl-luh

0 voters

Veh-lah and Vay-la interchangeably (but mostly Veh-lah.)

Vay-luh would be my guess

I’ve only heard the constellation pronounced as vee-la so that’s how I say the name too

I pronounce it both Vay-luh and Vee-luh.

I’d pronounce it however I’m told to, but VAY-luh would be instinctive.

It’s kinda like Væla lol

Ahhh when I listen to this back it doesn’t even sound the same as it does in my head :sweat_smile: hope you get what I mean!

It’s a really pretty name in any of the three pronunciations, and it’s easy to switch if the wearer communicates their preferred one! It’s not one of those names that I keep mispronouncing in my head, I could easily switch to any of these three.

@alatari Thanks for all the effort that went into this! :pray: :heart:

VAY-lah for me! It reminds me of [name_f]Selah[/name_f], in a way.

My instinct is VAY-luh, but I could see any of those three pronunciations being possible.
