The proper pronounciation

eye-yo-na
I believe that is the correct way. Two L's produce a "y" sound.

Assuming you meant to type Ilona, the proper Hungarian pronunciation is actually EE-lo-naw, but I've heard it said il-OH-na -- or with an accent, eel-OH-na -- as well (perhaps inherent to another culture/language?).
Hope that helps.
Edited to add: Some may be misreading this as Iona, which CAN be said "eye-OH-na" or "eye-ON-a." That's a family name for me. ;) Different languages and origins, however.

(EEL on a)
This is Ilona, because it said Illona is just a form of Ilona. I think it is pretty, but in this font it looks like LLLONA, Lona, with three L's

The girl's name Ilona \i-lo-na\ is pronounced eye-LOH-nah.
The girl's name Illona \i-llo-na\ is a variant of Ilona.

Eel-on-a, I think is how you would say it. It might be one of those names that have a gazillion ways to say it though. But that is what I would say.
