English Pronunciations: yoo-LAY-lee, yoo-LAYL-ee.
I've seen it with the pronunciation You-lily.
Here is an audio link to the proper French pronunciation to clear up any confusion about the yoo VS uu debate http://www.forvo.com/word/Eulalie/#fr
As far as I can tell, the British English pronunciation is YOO-lə-lee, and the American/Canadian English pronunciation is yoo-LAY-lee.
The pronunciation is uu-la-LI (see the key). The French "eu" hasn't an equivalent in English, but it's a bit like the "u" in "jump", for example. The name is very rare in France, and seems old-fashioned. [noted -ed]
Marie-Amelie's comment is right.
The French eu is pronounced UU according to the key, not YOO. It's kind of an 'err' sound. So, in French, it would be pronounced err-la-LEE. [noted -ed]
Actually, I believe the French EU is pronounced much like YOO, just like we normally pronounce it. If it was Ulalie, then you'd be somewhat correct but in French I believe it's pronounced yoo-lah-LEE. I take French in school. In English I would pronounce it YOO-la-LEE. Never yoo-LAY-lee. That reminds me of ukulele.
Pronounced eu-la-LEE.
It's pronounced yoo-LAY-lee.
...if it's French, though, the pronunciation is probably more like yoo-lay-LEE.
