It's a German name, regardless, and many other languages say it that way too. The child would be called the wrong name half the time from people seeing only text.
Ok sorry I used that analogy, I misunderstood. Anyway, now I do see where you are coming from and generally agree with the idea that you are expressing. But I think that in this case it is possible that Emilie may happen to be a legitimate variant spelling of Emily in English, which is why I think it doesn't need to be pronounced the German way. I'm not sure if it is an accepted variant, but that's how I view the name when an English speaker uses it that way anyway.
