I was just looking through the ssa list and realized Valeria is more popular than Valerie. So I was curious on how most people instinctively pronounce Valeria. Valer-EE-uh (like Valerie) or vu-LAIR-ee-uh or something else?
With the Spanish PN of V, ba-lair-ee-a, after watching The Marked [name_f]Heart[/name_f].
Iām thinking val-EER-ee-uh (eer-ee to rhyme with eerie. Like val-eerie-uh)
I prefer vuh-LAIR-ee-uh but could also see vuh-LEER-ee-uh.
I know 2 of them, both pronounced vah-LEH-ree-ah!
I would also instinctively pronounce it vah-LEH-ree-ah
