I really like this name, but it also reminds me of the words ululate (to howl emotionally) and echolalia (when someone habitually repeats what other people say). It wouldn't scare me off using the name, though.

Here is an audio link to the proper French pronunciation to clear up any confusion about the yoo VS uu debate http://www.forvo.com/word/Eulalie/#fr

Reminds me of "ooh la la" because the proper French pronunciation makes an "uu" or "ooh" sound not "you". I prefer Eulalia.

Eulalie is a great name! It's cute, old-fashioned, a bit mysterious, and very unusual without being made-up.

Certainly underused, and a nice alternative to names like Emily.

The pronunciation is uu-la-LI (see the key). The French "eu" hasn't an equivalent in English, but it's a bit like the "u" in "jump", for example. The name is very rare in France, and seems old-fashioned. [noted -ed]

Marie-Amelie's comment is right.
The French eu is pronounced UU according to the key, not YOO. It's kind of an 'err' sound. So, in French, it would be pronounced err-la-LEE. [noted -ed]

Actually, I believe the French EU is pronounced much like YOO, just like we normally pronounce it. If it was Ulalie, then you'd be somewhat correct but in French I believe it's pronounced yoo-lah-LEE. I take French in school. In English I would pronounce it YOO-la-LEE. Never yoo-LAY-lee. That reminds me of ukulele.

I have seen it spelled Eulalee in a book. I didn't like it, either.
