How to pronounce Elysia?

[hattee]

I like the name Elysia but I'm woried that future DD will have a lifetime of having people mispronouning her name. I'm also concerned that she would always have to spell it out. I'm normally a fan of classic/boring names, but this one stands out to me for some reason.

How would you pronounce this?

i'd say elle-iss-ee-ah if i read it

Same as Alicia I think

Its my friends DD name, and she pronounces it like bloodredtulips said.

ell-eesh-a

I've had a lifetime of people not knowing how to pronounce my name and it gets pretty wearing. If you have to ask, so will everyone else.

I would say Ell-iz-ia.

Very pretty, but I think she would always be telling people how to spell and pronounce it. I like it though.

well how would you pronounce it hattee?

Ell ee see ya

One of dd2's best friends is called this btw.

I'd pronounce it El-ee-see-ah, but it doesn't look as though anyone else would! I think I'll go back to my traditional/old fashioned list

you might have to correct people a bit at first but if you like the name, I would go ahead with it. I don't think it is going to be hugely difficult to get people to pronounce her name the way you want really.

ell-ee-sha. As in ell-ee-shan fields, non? Bit funerial.

I would say Ell-ee-zee-uh

But I would say ell-ee-zhun fields, with a sort of soft j sound like the g in rouge

ell-iss-ee-ah

Ell-izz-ee-ya

Lovely name. We considered it but already have an Elizabeth and it's too close. I wanted it because it sounds like the Roman 'heaven' Ellysium and my dad, who died in April, was a guru of Roman knowledge! I would have pronounced it El-iss-ia.
