I heard a mother addressing her daughter Amelie and pronouncing it like Emily, with the first syllable of ominous or omelet. OM-uh-lee. Yuck! But that is what comes naturally. I don't think it's comfortable to pronounce it any other way in my accent - if I try to say AH-meh-LEE it sounds so phoney. I mean, if she were a French speaker and said her own name with authenticity, I'd try to imitate that, and it wouldn't be phoney, it'd just sound like I was being respectful. But for a non-French-speaking local person to call herself AH-meh-LEE or AM-may-LEE would be sort of obnoxious. ah-MAY-lee just sounds either incorrect, or invented.

I could see pronouncing it ah-MAYL-yuh if it had no accent mark. It'd be unexpected, but not uncomfortable.
