Dahlia-do you like it?

[thisisserious]

I don't see it mentioned very often but I think it is v pretty. What so you think?

So which pronunciation is prettier do you think? There seems to be a split here! I was thinking Dah-lee-ah but I guess Day-lee-ah is more floral!

You need to say it Day-lee-a because that's how the words is said in English.

Mr Dahl is neither here nor there. As someone else says, nobody says Fucks-ya, do they? (apologies for his silly German name, it's just Mr Fox really ).

I wonder why Dahlia and Camellia are not pronounced the way they should be, yet it is accepted as the norm? Very odd.

Actually Camellia is a really pretty name as well.
