I love the name, but I am more fond of the pronunciation in languages other than English (especially the Spanish, eh-oo-LA-lee-ah and the Greek ef-lah-LEE-ah). It is one of those random names that I have never heard anyone say in English, so I wasn't even aware of the English pronunciation with lay instead of la in the middle until now. It's ridiculous that I knew how to say it in other languages before I knew how to say it in my mother tongue.

Ukulele

While I enjoy seeing it, it reminds me too much of ukulele.

I think it's a beautiful, underused name. I can never decide if I like Eulalie or Eulalia better.

I like it, but prefer Eulalie. Eulalia is a little too frilly, while Eulalie has a bit of a hipper, more accessible feel to it. Plus, Poe!

I think I might be pronouncing it differently than you, because I'm not getting the "you lay" - I'm saying it "Yoo-LAH-lee-ah". Perhaps that's incorrect, but its my instinctual pronunciation.
