Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce it, and is it usable
in reply to a message by Ismene
It's ah-GLAH-yah here (the last part is between yah and eeah), no idea about English. Generally I think that if you have to ask how to pronounce it, it's best not to use it.
The site says that Aglaia is ə-GLAY-ə or ə-GLIE-ə in English.

Well I pronounce it "ah-GLAY-ah" but was just trying to find out how others would intuitively say it

You asked if it was usable, and I think that in real life it's best to avoid names where more pronunciations are possible or where you're not sure (but then I don't get the creative spelling craze either, so...).

I would generally follow this logic but in reality there are several names I like which could conjure more than one pronunciation (Philippa, Sela, Bera, Sunniva, Johanna, etc.), so I guess I'm just having a hard time trying to decide where to draw the line.
I'm NOT a fan of the creative spelling phase either but... I'm a Madyson... so what can I say :)
