Re: Delia
I've also heard it DEEL-ya.Do you have the clothing store Delia's where you live? My mother had to ask them how to pronounce it every time she went in. :] They've said both DEE-lee-ah and DEEL-ya.

Yesand DEEL-ya, DEEL-ee-ah, etc. are all fairly common pronunciations (or so I've been led to believe). We don't have a Delia's in our town, but yes, I'm in the States and have shopped there.Weird. I've never thought there would be any pronunciation difficulties with it. It always seemed so straightforward to me.
