I love it. It fits into the same category of "would work in a classically inspired work as well as a space opera" as Sophronia, Cassiopeia, or Lysandra. I'd pronounce it ga-li-LAY-a.

Galilea was an old favorite of mine, I think it's really pretty. The nickname Gal is cute too (like Gal Gadot).

I pronounce it ga-lih-LAY-uh

I think it's beautiful. I'm associating it with the place name in the bible, but that's a plus point to me. I pronounce it easily, like gah-lee-LEE-a or in my native tongue gah-lee-LEH-ah. I would pair it as Galilea Marie, Galilea Rae, or Galilea Michelle.

I knew a Galilea. She pronounced it gal-uh-lay-uh but went mostly by Lea prn lay-uh. Honestly, I kind of love it.

My inclination re: pronunciation would be ga-lih-LAY-oh.

As in a feminine form of Galileo? I don't know that I care for it at all.
