I think it looks pretty but not sure how to say it:

Noo-arla
New-arla
Nwarla
Noo-allah
New-allah

Or another way?? Don't want a DD whose name I can't pronounce properly. That said, not sure it's a good idea to have a name that may cause so many pronunciation problems full stop [hconfused]

Many thanks!
