Going off MissKaydee's post below...
My good friend recently had a son and named him Elias. She says "Ee-Lie-Us". I find that I have to really concentrate to say it with the long e for some reason. It comes most naturally to me to say uh-lie-us. Just wondering how everyone says it since he is the first one I've ever met IRL.

heheh this made me laugh! I was just in Duh-troit last week so I guess that's why I want to say it that way:)
Betsy's got so much blonde hair now! Super cute.
I say something uh-lie-us
I wouldn't pronounce it either of those ways, I say it so it sounds like you're saying the letters "L E S"

Elias is my nephew's middle name. He is 4. I had never heard it before he was born but I love it. I have heard my inlaws pronounce it E-lie-us and eh-lie-us
