  I had a student with this name and he pronounced it EH-LEE-US.  Still a cool name though.

  I would pronounce it e-LIE-us. I teach a little boy named 'Eliah' and he pronounces it in the same fashion. I really like is.

  I have always pronounced it Ee-LIE-us. I have a friend who has it as his own middle name, and another friend who named her son Elias, and in both cases it's pronounced Ee-LIE-us.

  You can even listen to it being pronounced. This is how my former student pronounced it as well.

  Ee-LIE-us. Know two of them, and that's how they say it. It's also just my general understanding of how the name is said in the US.

  However, a friend wanted to give his kid this as a MN, but decided to be kre8tv and go with the Greek mythological name "Eleus", which is apparently actually pronounced more like "ileus", the condition in which your digestive tract slows down/stops. So they had to go to SSA and legally change it to Elias, pronounced the way they intended, and everyone understands.
