How would you pronounce Dahlia?

I love this as a girl's name, but in pronunciation I prefer "Dar Lee uh" to "Day Lee uh". Do you think this would cause too much confusion?

How it looks - Dah-lia. Not sure why there would be a 'r' in there

Dale-yuh

I would say Day lee uh like the flower, but if it was spelt Dalia, I would say Dah lee uh. Which doesn’t really make sense. Hmm
