I pronounce it Eh-ly-zuh, but that's because I learned how to pronounce it on this board. I used to think it was pronounced Uh-lee-zuh

There is only one way to pronounce Eliza. Not sure who would say Ee-liza.

and what is the only pronunciation? everyone i've ever met says ee-LIE-zuh. like liza with ee at the front.

eh-LIE-zuh.  Which I guess is the same as eh-LIZE-uh.  For me the "eh" and "uh" are fairly similar.

I would never say eeee (long-e)-LIE-zuh.

I say Eee-lie-zuh.  Only way I've ever heard it.

Eee-lie-zuh. never heard it any other way.  Maybe it's a geographical thing?

My best friend growing up was named Eliza. I had known her for prob 7 years before I even knew he name had an 'E'. We always called her Liza (Liza Lot, hehe). After that and into adulthood we used both pronunciations, but probably mostly uh-Liza.

All of the Elizas I know pronounce it Ah LY Za.

My cousin is Eliza and hates it when people call her E Ly Za
