I like the sound of it fine, although I don't care much for the association with the plant. It's a nice name.
Acelya would be difficult for me, until I got used to it.

I really like it, it's a lovely name. Not sure about Acelya, I'm not familiar with it. I'm not fond of the spelling.

I love Azalea! I've never heard of Acelya, but I think it's pretty also.

It seems energetic/warm/bright, I generally like symbolic nature names, and it was my grandmother's MN.

I think I would have liked being named it, even though it seems kind of loud or showy...like Esmeralda and Magnolia would, to me.

I'd hesitate to use the Turkish version. I read it like ah-sel-ya, which I like, but I'd guess it's said more like ehj-al-ya, which mainly seems weird/unrecognizable in English.

I love Azalea. The Turkish form is pretty as well.

Gorgeous! I’d use it for sure.
