I’ve never heard it pronounced [name_f]Emma[/name_f]-leah before. I say it closer to [name_f]Em[/name_f]-mill-ee-uh/[name_f]Em[/name_f]-meel-ee-uh. The latter is how actress [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_m]Clarke[/name_m] pronounces her name, but that’s really the only reference I can think of off the top of my head.

I’ve always pronounced it similar to [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Emma[/name_f]-leah doesn’t really make sense to me with that spelling. It’s a feminine form of [name_m]Emil[/name_m], and the 2nd syllable of that name is pronounced like “meel”.

[name_f]Em[/name_f]-mill-ee-uh is the only way I could ever see it being pronounced, at least here in Europe
