Eye - da - lai (=as the word lie)…

Is that your own invention for a name? Sounds like an utterance in some obscure language, not a name yo me.
sorry

Just had a Google

Idalie is a rare, historically rooted given name primarily used for girls, with German origins meaning "active" and French/Swedish roots translating to "behold the sun".

i -DA- lay with a short i as the start of in, not eye if that makes sense

My first thought was Id-ah-lee-eh but then I thought maybe Ida-Lee.

Eye da lee. Sounds very similar to idly

lemoncurdcupcake · 25/06/2026 16:09

Same as I'd pronounce idly.

Idly. Like something done in an idle way.

I’d pronounce it Eye-da-lee

The same as this, maybe some people may say Id (like lid) a - lee. Never heard it before very nice name!

SquigglePigs · 25/06/2026 16:05
