are there 2 pronunciations? audio link

---

I only know this as a French name (it sounds more like uuh lah lee in French http://www.forvo.com/word/eulalie/#fr)
and I dont care for it, I used to think English speakers were mispronouncing it by saying "yoo lay lee" but now Im not sure.

I adore Eulalie and Eulalia! They're such lilting, dignified names.

Reminds me of "ukelele", but it's got a dorky sort of spark to it. It's original.

I love them both soooo much. I don't know how I could choose one. I would have never thought of Eulalie Hero, but it certainly is great! I love the flowery strength of it. My favorite combo for each: Mahalia Eulalie and Eulalia Tzipporah or Eulalia Benjamine

Eh, I'm not a fan of either name listed, though I think I'd prefer Eulalia. I find the "lal" in the name incredibly unattractive in sound and appearance. I can understand the appeal, though. It has a pleasant, yellow-and-white flowers in April thing going on.

I say yoo-lay-lee.

love Eulalie :) So bright and smiley and daring. I prefer Eulalie to Eulalia, which has just a touch of preciousness that I'm not keen on. Eulalie is beautifully odd and individual.

---

I say it "YOO-la-lee".

---

Eulalie Hero is GREAT! Definitely jives with my mental picture of a Eulalie.

---

Other ideas?

I am a huge fan of Eulalie! I plan on at least using it or Eulalia as a middle name if not a first name.

---

I pronounce it yoo-lay-lee.

Eulalie Amelia
Eulalie Bronwyn
Eulalie Blythe
Eulalie Giselle
Eulalie Jane
Eulalie Madeleine
Eulalie Matilda

I'd prn. it yoolaylee... I'm not really a fan of either name and find them similarly unappealing. (and they somehow make me think of an ukulele... which is ok as an instrument, but...).

Eulalia might sound ok w/ Midori.
Eulalie might sound ok w/ Geneva.

Eulalie!! It's one of those names I love but would probably never use. I pronounce it you-lay-lee.

I prefer Eulalia, as most names ending with "ee" sounds seem unfinished to me. Regardless of how it ends, I think the English pronounciation (lay) is much nicer - yoo-la-lee sounds a bit like a French person saying "your lolly" ;)

Eulalie Adele
Eulalie Maeve
Eulalie Helene (using the he-LEEN pronunciation. A little tongue-twistery, but I like it!)

LOVE! One of my all time favourites and if I could get husband to agree, it would be near the top of my list- I pronounce it you-lay-lee....love Lolly as a nickname.

I like it. It's pretty and interesting. I pronounce it yoo-lay-LEE, with a slight emphasis on the last syllable. I'm not sure if I prefer Eulalie or Eulalia. They are both pretty.

aww its so cute! I don't think I've ever heard it before but I like it! I think it pairs best with short middle name.
Eulalie Rose
Eulalie Joy
Eulalie Jean

Eulalie :)

---

I would say it the English way, and occasionally the French way during endearing moments.

I really love Eulalie! I'm probably saying it wrong but I prefer it said "yoo-LAH-lee" and I like the NN Lolly :)

---

It is really hard to pair! I like Eulalie Hero a lot. I think Eulalie Hera has an easier flow I think

I love it, and of the two I prefer Eulalie. I'm not 100% sure on pronunciation, but I think I tend slightly more toward yoo-lay-lee. Poking around YouTube looking for different people pronouncing it, I'm finding slightly more people saying yoo-la-lee, but that isn't really the most scientific method to gather evidence so you can take that for whatever you want.

I adore Eulalie Hero - it's genuinely just about a perfect combination my eyes.
