My husband is from Denmark, so we have to think of names that can be said in Danish and in English. In Danish it's ah-may-lee-eh.

Well then...If you're trying to achieve that pronunciation, then I'd suggest (if you're living in America, for example), spelling it as Amalia. But, that can also be pronounced as Am-all-yuh.

I've never heard it pronounced, so I wasn't sure. :):)
