ZAY-lee, with the long A sound. As in say/play/day…

I pronounce it [without the accent] the same as I would with the accent. I think Zélie makes it the clearest, honestly :slight_smile:

I’d say Zeh-lee for [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] and Zay-lee for Zélie (or as a nn for [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]).

I’d definitely say Zay-lee, and after that [name_m]Zel[/name_m]-ee makes the most sense

I’ve always said ZAY-lee, too.

Zélie pronunciation: How to pronounce Zélie in French - That’s how I pronounce it.

[name_f]Zelie[/name_f]- ZEH-lee
Zélie- ZAY-lee

[name_f]ZEE[/name_f]-lee doesn’t appeal to me at all. I quite like the other two.
