How do you pronounce Olivia?

I dont like how it sounds when its said as "Oh-Livia"
I do like how it sounds if its said like "Uh-Livia"
How do you say it? just outta curiosity. It seems kinda stupid and like such a small thing,
but for some reason it really makes a weird difference to me :/ i dunno why.

I kinda have this same issue with my own name which is simply Tara :P
I have people say it either  like "Tear-uh" , "Taa-ruh" <--i prefer this one, and also like "Tar-uh" which I hate.

Also here are some of my top names:

Avery Carmella (Ava)
Tessa Carmella (Tess)
Leo
James (Jamie)

My Italian grandmother, aunt and mother all spelled/spell their names Carmella. Ive seen the name both ways though anyway, and I dont think either one is the incorrect way to spell it.
Just like Michelle can be spelled Michele also. Ive seen both.

Ive thought about, if I used Olivia, spelling it Alivia, but that doesn't exactly look right to me oddly enough lol. Its not my top name anyways, I was just wondering what others said it like :)

My friends children, Aidan, Austin, and Alivia.

Come to think of it, my cousins kids names are Aaron and Aaliyah.

thats a lot of A's! lol :) Im not saying Alivia is wrong or bad, it just looks odd to me since ive never seen it spelled that way on a person ya know? I do kinda like it but I'm still on the fence. Like I said it's not a top name of mine, but I do like it :)

Michèle is another version of Michelle, but I can't say whether it's legit or not, since I'm not that familiar with french culture.

But having lived all 25 yrs of my life in Italy, I can tell you no one spells it Carmella here, so it must be a mistyping down the line.

*shrugs* lol I want to use it b/c it's a family name and I want to honor both my g-ma and mom, I don't mind if it seems mispelled to someone who actually lives in Italy and while I would love to visit one day, I have no intention of living there so for here in NJ, It doesn't seem odd to be spelled that way. :) Any baby names websites Ive looked on have both spellings for both Michelle/Michele and Carmella/Carmela just saying they are alternate spellings for one or the other. So I never viewed it/them as incorrect spellings of one another. Guess it just depends where you live.

Many websites have little mistakes like that, that could only be evidenced by someone living in that culture. As long as one's informed, then he can choose what's best for them :)
