ZEE-leeya

Zee-lee-a

Rhymes with Celia

Yep, I'd assume it rhymes with Delia and Celia

Zee-lee-a, with the stress on the 'zee'.

Rhyming with Delia, as in Delia Smith.

Ze - lee - a

Zee le ahh

Zel-eee-ah was my first thought

Zeel ya.

Zeh-lee-a

Zee Lee ah

Like Celia/Delia

What else?

Phonetic Spelling:[ z eh l ee uh ]

First glance like delia with a z.

But i do know a zelley so maybe zelly-ah

Or zeelya

Celia, Delia, Amelia, Ophelia, Zelia

Zee-lee-uh

Like Celia

Exactly! Are there any that break this pattern?

Zee Lee uh

Zay lee ah

I agree. Definitely the way that the only person that I know with that name pronounces it.

Zeh Lee urgh

Me too, Zel like Jel (in jelly).

Zel-eee-ah

How do you pronounce it @Pinkfrog32 ?

This.

Ze-lay-a - Sounds a bit like a spell from The Witcher!

I thought Zay lee ah when I read it. Like a shortening of Azalea

Zelly to rhyme with jelly, Zelly-ah

Zee-lee-ah
