DH and i have both chosen Aylah for one of our top 5 names for DD but not sure whether to pronounce it as A-lah or Eye-lah. DD is due in November so got a bit of time to choose and would love for your opinion,
Thanks.

I'd pronounce it Ay-lah

I know an Isla and an Ayla - this looks like your trying to make a unique spelling of these but closest I would say is Ay-la

Moonshine160 · 26/09/2021 20:11

I would pronounce it ay-la

Surely if it’s one of your favourite names you know what it sounds like?!

I would pronounce it ‘Ai-lah’. But it’s absolutely awful.

* Why do people choose names they don't know how to pronounce?*

^Because they are thick

drpet49 · 26/09/2021 20:09

You mean Isla.

Theworldisquiethere · 26/09/2021 20:07

I’d pronounce it like Isla

Nanananani · 26/09/2021 20:06

A-la sure eye-lah is Isla?

I'd probably say ai-lah rather than a-lah or eye-lah. Where's it from? It looks like a "yoo-neek" spelling

Mymapuddlington · 26/09/2021 20:01

Eye - lah
