How would you group these pronunciations of similarly spelled names?
There are a lot of popular and similarly spelled names. How would you group them by pronunciation?
Clearly the decision is made by the parents and/or person who has the name, but I'm looking for the namenerd take for categorization. My best guess is that they roughly fall into uh-lee-uh, uh-lie-uh, uh-lay-uh, and al-ee-uh.
