Do you like this, and how would you pronounce it?
Thanks.

I don't take to it, but it's kind of OK.

I'd pronounce it the same way as the bush: az-ay-lee-a

trinitybleu · 08/11/2013 20:09

Az-ay-lee-a

but had a friend whose mum was Italian and they pronounced it Az-a-lay-a.

Azaylea, just like the plant of course.

notallytuts · 08/11/2013 20:11

az ay lia

its a little fussy for my liking but its quite nice

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/11/2013 20:16

Az - ay - lee -a

But I don't like it, sorry.

Not a 'normal' flower name, too unusual to be pretty. Bit like calling dd "Rhododendron"!

How about Aurelia? Similar sound, proper name.

Ariadne?

UriGeller · 08/11/2013 20:31

spelled same as
Azealia Banks

Or this

Scary.

I like it.

CarryOnDancing · 09/11/2013 11:23

Az-a-lee-a and I absolutely adore it! I think it is stunning and beautiful. It beats the usual flower names hands down!

Thank you everyone, just wasn't sure if I was saying it right.
