How would you pronounce this name - Idalia?
What do you think of the name Idalia Eileen Anderson? Without even knowing how to say the first name I am finding it hard to know if this is a good sounding name or not! Please help!

I would pronounce it Eye-Dall(like Dallas)-Yuh.
Hope
Found this:
Idalia
Gender: Girl
Pronunciation: eye-DAYL-yah
Origin: Greek
Meaning: "Behold the sun
I like Idalia Anderson, but not with Eileen, too much of the 'eye' sound.
I would pronounce it like this:
eye-DAY-lee-ah
It's not such a bad name...just a wee bit long.
I've never even heard of it. it makes me think of a vidalia onion. So, that's how I would pronounce it. eye-daal-ya.
I think Dalia Eilieen is much prettier.

Sorry, but it reminds me too much of a vidalia onion.
Yep. Eye-dale-ya. (like vidalia without the V)
It's a little too rhymey for me.

ok so here is the story ..
my sister emailed my brother about his choice of name and here is what he said;
we have a neighbor who is an 80 year old lady who is very sweet and takes care of her 5 acres by herself,her name is Ida, so looking up Ida in the baby name book, the Italian version is Idalia. They pronounce it eye-duh-lee-a (the cadence of it is like pizzeria).
Still not sure if I like Idalia Eileen Anderson but Idalia is pretty on its own I guess. I just know it would never be a choice of mine. Thanks for all the help!
