HelpRe: Eliel
in reply to a message by Remora L.
Despite Elijah having the LIE sound, Eliel as "ee-LIE-əl" doesn't seem intuitive to me because it looks like a religious *iel name (Gabriel, Ariel, Ezekiel, Remiel), and those are pronounced with an EE sound most of the time (only exception I know of is Daniel) in the US, plus it looks kind of like Elian, which I've only heard as eh-lee-an.
My first thought was eh-lee-el, but when I say it fast, I think it might come out as eh-LEE-uhl (or eh-LEEL).
I don't see it getting popular (the repetition's too sing-songy, I think), but it sounds pleasant enough to me, either way.
