How do you pronounce Eil? Like ale?

I know it's crazy! Technically it's pronounced like eel but I use el like as if it was short for Ella or Elsa.
The first bit of her name is pronounced El-eeth-ee-ya.
For anyone who may be interested in the meanings of the names:
- Eileithyia - Greek goddess of childbirth and labour pains
- Eris - Greek goddess of chaos
I thought these were both fitting as she has a litter and she's bought chaos with her lol
- Dysnomia - in Greek mythology she's the demon daughter of Eris. She is the demon of lawlessness
This suits the little potential sow to a T. Law to herself that one haha.
- Apollo - Greek God of music and dance. The little potential boar loves to popcorn and wheek. It's like he's singing and dancing. It's adorable I must try and get a video of it to show you all.
- Jupiter - Odd one out as he's a Roman god. King of the gods. Zeus would be the Greek equivalent but the boar has a patch of red hair on him like the red spot on the planet so thought it would make more sense.
