Until my friend mentioned something yesterday I was only wondering about the first syllable and whether is was a hard 'E' or an 'eh'. I'm not good at writing things out phonetically but I've been saying eh-mee-lee-uh like Emilio (eh-mee-lee-o) Esteves but with an 'a.' My friend is saying eh-meh-lee-uh like the name Emily plus an "uh". I never considered that option before.

I thought I knew how to say it but I ran into a mutual friend recently and she was saying the name differently. All communication has been through text/email so we don't know how the parents are saying it. Of course whatever they say goes but out of curiosity... How do you say the name Emilia?
