How would you pronounce Xylia?

[Clickityclack]

Just that really. I saw it written down today and I think it looks pretty but I have no idea how you'd pronounce it, any ideas?

[RaRaZ]

Zy -lee - uh

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Zye-lah

[TolliverGroat]

I know one who is ZILL-ee-uh. Before I knew her I would have guessed at ZY-lee-uh.

[Elquota]

Zy-lee-uh

[Myliferocks]

The girl in DS2's year group is really sweet and seems to suit the name.

[MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic]

According to this site it's zy-lee-a. I've never heard it before but it's sweet

[Bakingtins]

Zy lee ah

It sounds like a medicine.

[valiumredhead]

No 'sillier' than Tilly or Milly imo. I quite like it OP. And names can most definitely look pretty or clumsy when written down!

[nooka]

Like sillier. And sorry, but I think it is a bit of a silly name.

[MackerelOfFact]

Zy-li-ah. I'd guess. Horrible though, sounds like a food additive.

[MerryMarigold]

zy-lee-ah

If you can believe it, I know a Xara (Zara!!)

I wanted to call ds Xavier, as I do think 'x' names are the coolest on a bank card. But was vetoed.

[KB02]

Reminds me of Xylaria, genus of fungus.

[desertbaby]

Zy lee ah

[bugsybill]

Zye (like eye)- lee- uh

[elQuintoConyo]

Chillier.
X always sounds like CH where I live.
It looks horrible, like a bacteria.

So, how should it be pronounced, OP?

[squoosh]

Zillia. Looks and sounds like an anxiety medication.

What about Zinnia?

[savoirfaire]

Zee-le-a

[RiaOverTheRainbow]

Zy-lee-ah

[curlew]

How can a name "look pretty"?

[Mintyy]

Zillia

[AuntieStella]

Zy-lee-ah

Love the idea of Xylem and Phloem
