Pronunciation of Eliora

How is Eliora pronounced? Three syllables or four? I found an old thread on this topic (see link below), but since only one person responded, I thought I'd ask again.

Is the pronunciation here (http://forvo.com/word/eliora/) correct?

Thanks for your responses!

Hi.

First: Read the FAQ. We ask that you do not use Netspeak on the board and that you use proper capitalization.

Second: This is a board for facts, not opinions. If you have no proof don't post on this board.

The name is pronounced el-ee-or-a, btw.

Over here, it's eh-li-OH-ra (definitely four syllables).

I think it depends on your accent. eh-lee-OR-uh / ehl-YOR-uh are very similar and either could be correct depending on how much stretching / slurring goes on in your accent.

I use the three-syllable pronunciation in my accent (Australian with a touch of English).
