[Opinions] Re: Helia
in reply to a message by Grazz
I'm assuming we are pronouncing it in the same way as those others listed - HEE-lee-ə, or something like that?I don't care for it. It looks incomplete, and it just doesn't sound pretty to me. I far prefer Ophelia or Cecilia.

The correct pronunciation in Portuguese would be something ELL-ya as the H is silent and é is pronounced like the E in Ella or Bella. Most people would say it quickly enough that the lee-a syllables merge into lya - in Portuguese, that is.
