Eulalia

I have a character named Eulalia nn Lali! Well technically her title is Princess Eulalia but ya know

i agree with @Starelli my birth middle name was Dani'El but i hated how unfeminine it looked so i changed it to Anastasia

"Lalia" just refers to speech itself, it's why this name means what it does. (Also echolalia is not a problem, it's a normal part of autistic speech and it helps us communicate when we can't put together our own words.)

People change their names to conform to their identities. If someone named Eulalia really wanted to change their name to something less feminine, they probably would. Similarly, I knew of someone named Maxwell who asked to be called Daisy. I knew a Daisy who wanted to be called Alex.

For some reason I can't stop getting the nn Yui for this name because of the "yew" sound. I just think it would be so cute!

Well, Eulalia is someone else's cup of tea. I think frilly names are the best, especially when the person wearing the name is a tom-boy, I think it adds spunk to the name. Eulalia is such a strong, feminine name.

Sorry for my lateness! For the "lalia" sound I would recommend Laelia, which is pronounced the same as "lalia" and is a beautiful flower. I would also recommend Laila, Dahlia (pronounced day-lee-uh) and Leilani, with the nn Lalia if you would like. Or you could just use Lalia, I think that is gorgeous too. Besides, it isn't entirely made up.

This is my grandmothers name. She pronounces it ooh-la-lia not yew-lay-lee-uh - I love the way she pronounces it but I am not particulary fond of the pronounciation seen on the comments. The 'yew' sounds is not appealing to me.

Sounds way too girly and sappy for my liking. Probably one of my least favorite names. Imagine you name your daughter 'Eulalia' and she grows up to be a tom-boy. I guess a nickname would help, then. I don't like the 'yew' sounds, particularly.

This sounds so 'princessy' to me, its incredibly pretty

I LOVEthis name. There are so many possibilities. As for a middle name for it the possibilities are endless. For example, Eulalia Coralie, Eulalia Lavender, Eulalia Mirabell, Eulalia Beatrix, Eulalia Elowen, Eulalia Calliope or Eulalia Anemone. If you wanted to use Eulalia As a middle name you could use, Tzipporah Eulalia, Clementine Eulalia, or Fleur Eulalia.

pretty sounding name but also reminds me of ukelele which may or may not be desirable

If you like the sound of "lalia', I recommend you check out the name Lalange.

I would like the name if the second syllable was a long A.

I had a great-grandmother (whom I've never met) called Eulalia and she went by Lala. I'm assuming that if she pronounced Eulalia like you-lay-lee-uh then Lala was pronounced like Layla. However, if she pronounced her name like you-lah-lee-uh then was Lala pronounced lah-luh or lah-lah? Oh, Lord. I actually do like this name, though. It's sweet.

"Eulaaaliaaaaaa!"

This is so cute!

Following what @Jennieecon said, you might just wanna use Layla or Talia/Thalia if you want to keep it Greek and still have that -alia sound and ending.

You may not want to use lalia. It refers to speech problems. See echolaliA
Best of luck

The "eu" turns me off, but I like the "lalia". How else can I use that?

Thank you :)

It's pronounced like "you", like Eugene, Euphemia, Eudora, etc. It's a homophone of you, ewe, u, and yew. It's a bit confusing, I must admit, but that's how its traditionally pronounced at least in English. If you read enough Greek literature, you'll begin to notice it and start picking it up easier. So, all together, Eulalia is pronounced "yoo-lah-lee-ah". Very poetic. Eulalie was used by Edgar Allan Poe in one of his poems.

How is the "eu" sound pronounced?
