Delia
is pronounced DEE-lee-ah. Sounds nothing like "the liar."

I've also heard it DEEL-ya.
Do you have the clothing store Delia's where you live? My mother had to ask them how to pronounce it every time she went in. :] They've said both DEE-lee-ah and DEEL-ya.

Yes
and DEEL-ya, DEEL-ee-ah, etc. are all fairly common pronunciations (or so I've been led to believe). We don't have a Delia's in our town, but yes, I'm in the States and have shopped there.
Weird. I've never thought there would be any pronunciation difficulties with it. It always seemed so straightforward to me.

I always have pronounced it as deh-lie-ah, and so has anyone else I've heard it from.. You probably live somewhere other than here.
