Azalea?

[nicole_1024]

Hi Berries!

What do you think of the name Azalea? How would you pronounce it?

Thanks,
Nicole

I would say it Ah-Zay-Le-Uh.
I think it's interesting, a bit exotic. I wouldn't use it, but it's not a bad name.

I really love this name. Too off-beat for me to realistically use, but I adore it anyway.

I say it uh ZAYL yuh. If I slowed down and thought about it, I'd probably say it more like "uh-ZAY-lee-uh". Lea, Allie and Zalie are all really cute nns.

I know a girl with this name. She says it ah-za-lee-uh. She mainly goes by the nickname Azzy.

I love this! I say it ah-ZAY-lee-ah. Sometimes more like ah-ZALE-yah. It's very sweet and spunky... definitely unexpected. It's one of my favorite lesser-used flower names out there (along with Bryony and Zinnia!).

I love this name! I would pronounce it like the flower: ah-ZAY-lee-ah. When said quickly it can sound more like uh-ZAYL-ya. Zaley is a cute nn.

I say it more like "ah ZALE ya" I think it makes a great name and with singers Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks (who I think says her name differently) I think the name could become more familiar but not big.

A-zay-lee-uh, like the flower. Though it's too exotic for me to use myself I would be pleasantly surprised to meet an Azalea. It has a beautiful sound.

I've never thought about this as a name, but it sounds beautiful! I'd pronounce it like the flower as well - A-Zay-Lee-Uh.

A-zay-lee-uh.

I think it's a cool alternative to the more obvious flower names. If she didn't like it when older she could introduce herself as Leah
