I know a Russian girl named Elya (ELL-ee-a), and the name I want to name my daughter is the same, but with an English spelling of Ellia.

I also know a few Ilya's, but they are all Russian guys. That name is pronounced EEL-ya. I think Illia would be fine on a girl, but the single L reminds me of the male name.

I prefer Elya/Ellia to Ilia on a girl, but I think it could work.
