Avonlea for my baby girl?

[candicejade.livejournal.com]

I'm five months pregnant with a little girl. My mother-in-law and I both love Avonlea and Delaney, but I'm concerned that people who are unfamiliar with Anne of Green Gables will have trouble with Avonlea.
How would you say it? Ay-von (as in the company) or more like ah-von and lee or lee-ah? It should be Ah-von-lee, and my husband wants to call her Ava, which would have a different A sound, but is close enough to work, I think.
I also love Olivia, but I'm alone on that one. My husband's top choice is Remy/Remi (yuck).

So, how would you pronounce Avonlea, and which name of the four do you prefer? (Big brother's name is Josiah)
oh, middle names are Marcella Mae after her grandmothers.

thanks!

Oh, and I would say "lee" as well.
