Lie-la, also.

On wiki it says Lie-la. I must be the only person who knows a Lill-a.

cheers, all! thx for input, I know of lee-la too, so just checking - I think it depends on the origin (Persian/Sanskrit)...

[TheChilliMooseISNOTFOREATING]

I know a lay-la too.

It the short form of Delilah so Lie-la. I prefer the spelling Lilah though.

Lela is Lee-la and Leila can be pronounced Lie-la or Lee-la.

If I saw it written down I would have to ask whether it was lee-la or lye-la as I have heard people use both.

[HerHonesty]

i know lie-la, lay-la and leela. take your pick!

laila is NOT the short form of delilah. it is a name in its own right.

[PestoSoggyMonster]

Lee-lah

[zazen]

You gotta hope she doesn't get largish - I've heard a Lila being called Lilo, you know the inflatable mattress.

Sofa put me off Sophie as well.

No, Laila sounds nothing like Delilah so of course it isn't the short form of it I was talking about Lilah which can also be spelt Lila or Lyla.
