[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation question (As and Es)
in reply to a message by Lily

Alyssa, Elissa- I pronounce these pretty much the same unless corrected by the person.
Amber, Ember- Amber is AHM-ber and Ember is EM-ber. The difference is noticeable in my pronunciation.
Amelia, Emilia- I want to say I pronounce these differently, but I don't really. I do think of them differently when I see them written down. Same with Alyssa and Elissa.
Al, Elle- Al is AHL and Elle is EHLL. I can't really explain it. Al sounds like Albert, and El sounds like Eleanor.
Alice, Ellis- Alice is AH-lice and Ellis is EL-liss. There is a difference.
