How is it pronounced? I like the name, but I see it as Zel-e-ah, or Za-lee-ah, or Zeal-yah, and I want to know how most people would pronounce it.

I love Celia and Delia, and I think Zelia is a lively and fun alternative to the two, having the energetic Z-sound. Its meaning is beautiful, the name sounds beautiful, and it'd just be a lovely inspired choice for a baby girl's name.

I pronounce it ZEE-Lee-uh. I ended up naming her Zelia Luelle. She is a sassy 3 year old now that loves her name, we always get compliments on how beautiful her name is. We call her ZZ most of the time 😊
