Have picked this if we have a girl but unsure how to spell it. What do you think?

I definitely don’t want Leyla / Leila, I want it pronounced Lie-la

Neither.
Lila or Laila.
Laila is arabic for night, and that is the transliteration. It's pronounced Lie-lah

Lilah or Lila, I don't think it looks right with a y, although that is an accepted spelling.

I thought Leila was pronounced lay-la or lee-la, not lie-la?

Or Leila?

Lilah.
To me Lyla looks like Layla missing the a.
And I actually prefer Layla as a name so I'd go Lilah.
