Oh ok thanks. Sounds to me like "omelette". No thanks.

En fran?ais, it's more like AH-may-lee.

I think it's a beautiful name!

Oui ca c'est vrais. J'aime vraiment le nom en francais mais pas en anglais.

It's my understanding that it's the French version of Emily, made popular in the US after the movie "Amelie" came out. I think it's quite beautiful.

AH-ma-lee. It's French.

When you say it, it should come out as Emily.
