As far as I can tell (through my youtube video research) the French pronounce it uh-LAH-lie (with the Lolly sound) but most Americans pronounce it more like Kate (the previous poster).

The following 2 links show how I would pronounce it…

It feels rather awkward .Overall, I can theorize & understand the appeal, it;s just rather awkward for me.This would be a daring choice for me – not a name like Honour or Roscoe

Another baby name blogger – Elisabeth at You Can’t Call It “It” – just named her daughter Eulalie a few months ago. They’re using “Lolly” as a nn. Eulie is sweet, too. Eulalie Aveleen is a great combo – what are you thinking of with Ardis?

I always wanted to use Avalon in the middle spot – my husband’s name is Arthur, so it seemed like a subtle way of honoring dad. Maybe someday …

That’s a fascinating bit of info, and certainly trumps Poe by a good bit.

When I Google’d the poem, I learned that Saint Eulalia’s bones were discovered in Barcelona in 878. Not sure where they’d been for more than five hundred years, but apparently that’s what sparked the writing. I think a lot about events that trigger the popularity of a name – television shows, movies, songs, etc. as well as history and literature – but maybe I’m missing a whole category of precipitating events – the discovery of saints’ relics, the canonization of new saints … hmmm … I think it’s time to go back to the library and dig for something relevant.

What a great choice of name for your daughter!
