Grandmother, born Tennessee 1912

Our family says Lelia with a southern sort of tone. Most people say it wrong, making an extra ly in the middle. It's more like Cecelia than Lilly.

The funny thing is kids who know our daughter (also Lelia) get it right easily, whereas adults who have know us for years still cannot get over saying Lilly-iah.
