What do you think of the name Dahlia? Said 'Day-Lia' like the flower🌸

Dahlia is pronounced as Daylia in British English. It doesn’t matter that it is named after Dahl.

ˈdeɪljə - in Collins Dictionary.

I know a little Dahlia (pronounced day-lee-uh) and she is gorgeous 😍 Love it!

Lots oif names have more than one pronunciation. As soon as you meet people and tell them, then they shoudl get it right.

Lost track of the number of Maya's - is it Meye - a or is it May -a
and then you have to remember which is which.

I love Dahlia (like the flower) and love flower names in general.

daylia is lovely but I pronounced Dahlia as spelt. I have a Delilah

I would pronounce Dahlia as it's written Dahl-ia. Like Roald Dahl with ia!

I'd pronounce Daylia as Day-lia.
