Help[Opinions] Clelia
I recently discovered this Italian name. I have never heard it before. I think it looks really pretty, though I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
What do you think of Clelia? What middle names would go with it? And how is it pronounced?

Yeah, it's nice! I'd be worried to use it for potential tongue-twistiness, but I do like it. If it's European, I'd always assume the e would be pronounced 'eh': CLEH-lia.
Off the top of my head:
Clelia Alfreda
Clelia Simone
Clelia Imogen
Clelia Iphigenia
Clelia Roberta
Clelia Winifred
Clelia Orlanda

It is very pretty! You can hear the pronunciation here: http://www.forvo.com/search/clelia/, basically like Cleh-lee-a. I like Clelia and I think it could really grow on me but at the moment I like Cloelia more. I was actually thinking about Cloelia today and how I have no idea how to say it (does anyone know?)
To me, Clelia is light and airy and Cloelia is solid. Clelia is definitely more usable. For middle names I like:
Clelia Valentina
Clelia Violeta
Clelia Isabel
Clelia Vittoria
Clelia Maddalena
Clelia Ippolita
Clelia Iolanta
Clelia Nives
Clelia Pearl / Perla
Clelia Rachele
Clelia Rosalba
Clelia Salome
Clelia Iris
Clelia Florence
Clelia Elisabetta
Clelia Juno
Clelia Gaiane
Clelia Eulalie
Clelia Dafne
Clelia Albertine
Clelia Pilar
Clelia Rossana
Clelia Rosamond
Clelia Margarita / Margalit
Clelia Teresa
