I don't care for made up names, so I'm not sure about spelling it differently...and I don't want to have to constantly correct people either :silly: Amalia is very pretty, but I read it more like Ah-ma-lee-ah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2051708 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 08:19:50 +0000 krispi 2051708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know an Emilia, and she pronounces it the second way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2051551 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:58:10 +0000 FannyMae 2051551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoreCoffee: Amalia is a popular greek name too, but pronounced Um-ah-lee-yah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2051515 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:57:20 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2051515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say "Em-ee-lee-uh". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2051499 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:40:40 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2051499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do Amalia to make it easy on everyone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050962 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 15:34:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2050962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: is the extra syllable common in other languages? If so, spell it the way you have it and just correct people. I went to college with two women name Leticia- spelled the same way. One was from the Caribbean and pronounced it like La-tish-a her nn was Tish. The other was from Italy and pronounced it like Le-tee-ci-ah. Once we knee how both of them pronounced their name it was easy for us to say it correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050958 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 15:33:15 +0000 Mrs.Scientist 2050958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: To get the pronunciation you want I agree Emmalia would be good.

I think that is a great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050552 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 11:34:20 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2050552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: This is exactly how I would pronounce it as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050515 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 11:06:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2050515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pronounced it like Emma-Leah at first glance. Looks like I'd be in the minority though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050469 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:40:53 +0000 sapphire 2050469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Amelia.

Like "Ah-ma-lee-ah"?</p> <p>So do you guys think the way I want to pronounce it sounds like a made up name? Do you like Emmalia or does it sound made up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050391 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:58:51 +0000 stiletto_mom 2050391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Em-meel-ee-yah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050389 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:57:10 +0000 MoreCoffee 2050389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Amalia? It's more similar to your preferred pronunciation, and often used in Spanish-speaking cultures. The Amalia I know goes by Molly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050386 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:56:17 +0000 alohaorchid 2050386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Me too.

I think Emmalia would be closest to the pronunciation you are looking for, though I could see the emphasis being on the MA there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050367 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:46:17 +0000 NovBaby1112 2050367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>darn, so it seems most pronounce it like Amelia.</p> <p>@MrsLilybugg: I do like the spelling of Emmalia, but I don't want a made up name either...hmmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050361 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:42:54 +0000 CakeLady 2050361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If say it Em-ee-lee-uh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050358 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:41:48 +0000 blackbird 2050358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pronouncing it em-eel-ee-yuh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-pronounce-this-name-4#post-2050355 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:40:54 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2050355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emaliyah</p> <p>Emmalia </p> <p>Emmaliya</p> <p>Emma Liya</p> <p>What about phonetically spelling it out?
