Pronunciation?

How would you pronounce the name Elealeh? I love how it looks visually, and like the nickname [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], but I can’t seem to find a pronunciation that makes sense with the spelling.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was Ellie-Ay-luh which I like but is a bit of a mouth full, or Ella-lee maybe.

Others I’ve found are Ellie-uh-lee, ee-lee-luh, and ee-luh-ay-luh, which all seem a bit repetitive and old-fashioned.

I would guess ell-EE-uh-leh, but would have zero clue if that were correct or not

Hmm. [name_f]My[/name_f] first though was “el-lay-lah” or “ee-lay-uh”

I’ve never met anyone with the name so I have no idea which is a correct pronunciation either! I’ve also thought of El-lay-lah and ell-ee-uh-leh. Who knew there were so many ways to pronounce one name

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was “uh-lee-lay.”

i guess my instinct would be eh-LEE-uh-lay? i have no idea, though

maybe like eh-lay-leh?

eh-LAY-luh was my first guess?

trying to sound it out my first thought was eh-LAY-ah-leh but i don’t think that is what you’d be going for at all :sweat_smile: it is quite an unnatural spelling / sound to pronounce for me though haha

for ellie-ay-luh i’d suggest maybe:

eleala
eliayla
eliala

names of a similar vibe you may also like:

elea
elsie
aelia
elena
azalea
elia
elthea
lea
elysia
elaluna

I’d guess Ell-ee-uh-leh or Ell-ee-luh -i do find it tricky either way

I would say AY-lay-ah-leh

[name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct was ehl-ee-uh-lee

Eh-lay-ah-leh? I have no idea to be honest
