To me, Amelia was always pronounced A-meel-ia(ya), however, when I look at this name, it's not just a version of Amelia spelled with an E, but pronounced, Emil-ee-uh (Emil-leah, sayed both Laya and Leah!) a name created by Emily and Leah together, and this pronunciation beats the overly popular Amelia, any day!
