Idol (like Billy Idol) then an “eee”

Like Italy with a D.

I-Da-Lee with the I pronounced as the I in 'Inn'. It's a name I'd be expecting a 50-50 chance of pronouncing incorrectly though.

How would you say it? Are you asking because you want to use it, @Fiddlesticks1 ?

No someone texted me the name they heard for a baby. I’m way past child bearing age. 🤣

Idaly. Like Swiss Tony saying 'Italy'

I thought it might be something like that! I'd reply 'How lovely, how do you say it?'.

On here I'd say avoid it unless you are OK with misspellings and mispronunciations.
