You know when you hear a name pronounced and you have no idea how it could be spelled? Well I have one of those and could use some help.

Yesterday as I was leaving church I was privy to this conversation:
Pastor: How are you little lady? (ready to shake hands)
Little girl: (shaking hands) I'm not little lady I'm eye-er-lee!
Pastor: (chuckles) Alright Miss eye-er-lee?
Mother: This way eye-er-lee.

So the name is pronounced eye-er-lee. She was only two or three so I'm not sure if she would have pronounced her name correctly but then the pastor and the mother pronounced her name the same way.
So how would you pronounce a girl's name spelled eye-er-lee or can you think of any name remotely similar in sound that could be what the girl actually said? I've already considered Ira-Lee and Lyra-Lee and Ellery but none of these sound quite the same.

If it helps here are her sibling's names, she's one of six (in order of age):
Briana
Keegan
Abram
Levi
eye-er-lee
Hosanna (g)

Thanks in advance for any help! :)
