Alright, so when I was younger I heard this name on a show I use to watch. I want to know what you guys think of it. I did hear the name on a fantasy themed show…so I really wouldn’t be offended if any of you thought it just sounds to made up. [name]Just[/name] want to know if it’s a name I should take off of my list or leave on. Thanks. =)
I’m torn between two spellings (If any of you like the name which spelling would you prefer)
Ilea vs. Ileia
Also if it helps the middle name(s) I would possibly pair with it one day are Ilea(Ileia) [name]Catherine[/name] or Ilea(Ileia) [name]Noelle[/name]
The way I pronounce it and I know it varies on pronunciations depending on where you’re from but here is how I see and hear it…
eye-lay-uh
I love the sound, I think I would go with the Ileia spelling since for some reason Ilea make me want to say it as I-[name]Lee[/name]-eh… also it reminds of Flea…
or maybe even Ilaya so it’s a bit more obvious? Although it doesn’t look as pretty…
I love the sound, but both spellings are confusing and I think most people will be unsure of how to pronounce them. I like Ilaya. Trying to think of how to get the eye-[name]LAY[/name]-uh sound with a more easily recognized spelling…
Ilaea?
Ilaia?
Eilaia?
Eilaya?
It’s just a lot of vowels–the kind of name I wouldn’t even try to pronounce until I heard someone say it.
also it reminds of Flea…
