Pronounciation of Lila

[Kolabioa]

Hi - slightly ridiculously we have our birth registration booked for this afternoon and are having last minute doubts about our preferred name - Lila. Our preferred pronounciation is Lie-la, but we know there are alternatives Lee-la and slightly less common Lil-la. We may postpone the registration but thought would see what the good people of mumsnet thought before we did ! We could spell it Lyla or Lilah, but we keep on coming back to Lila. Thanks in advance !

Hi, I think LYla, but in the play I saw of My Brilliant Friend it was pronounced Lee-la. But maybe that's an Italian way?

Great name - I am working with a LYla at the mo, she's lovely

I'd pronounce:
Lila as lie-la.
Lyla as lie-la
Lilla as lill-a
Leila as lay-la
Leela as lee-la (a la futurama, haha)

Yep Lie-la here too. Congratulations!
