Ugly. Who would call her daughter this?

Sorry, sounds like someone yodeling. Or a difficult-to-pronounce Polynesian word.

Actress Marcia Gay Harden (Stephen King's The Mist) has a daughter named Eulalia.

A unique and lovely name. Might have pronunciation problems, but well worth it.

I love the way it sounds, but I am not so sure about the spelling. I wouldn't personalise the spelling though, as I think that ruins names.

This sounds like a speech impairment to me.

Sounds like she should be rocking on the screen porch with Miss Scahhhhlit, drinking mimosas and fanning herself with a big palmetto leaf.

Saint Eulàlia (ca. 290-12 February 303) is the patron saint of Barcelona, where as a Christian she suffered martyrdom during the reign of Roman emperor Diocletian.

I fell in love with this name the first time I saw it when I was twenty years old. It was the name of one of the poets in some Spanish-language poetry anthology my Spanish class was using. I like the European and Latin American pronunciation Yu-LAHL-ya, and the nickname Lally. It's one of my most favorite female names.

It sounds like either a medical condition or some strange garbled form of ukelele.

Pronounced like "yoo-LAH-lee-ə".

Wow! One would really have "to talk well" to pronounce this name with ease! It sounds like a tongue-twister. Too many vowels and Ls. Other than that, it's not the worst name out there.

This name is adorable. I first heard it reading A Rose For The ANZAC Boys in which Midge's aunt is named Eulalia nicknamed Lally.
