Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/01/2018 19:07

A-may-er.
Lay-la

AthenaAshton · 12/01/2018 19:10

A-may-er and Lee-la?

Mamaka · 12/01/2018 19:12

A-my-ah and Lay-la
Beautiful names, quite Arabic sounding.

A-May-er and Lee-La.

AliciaMayEmory · 12/01/2018 19:39

A-may-a and Lee-la. (Although I know that the 'ei' in Leila should be said as an 'a', but spelled like this I read it as Lee-la not Layla.)

There is a Leila in DS's school. Very pretty name.

Ah-my-ah and Lay-lah, Home Counties

SwinginFromTheChandelier · 12/01/2018 19:48

Many ways to spell Lay-lah

Layla
Laila
Leila

Though I think Americans pronounce Leila as Lee-lah...

SuperBeagle · 12/01/2018 19:55

Uh-MY-uh.

LAY-luh (as in Layla).

ElphabaTheGreen · 12/01/2018 20:03

DS2 has one of each in his pre-school class.

Amaya is uh-MAY-uh and Leila is LEE-lah (I called her LAY-lah initially but got frowned at and corrected by young Master Three Hmm)

Pinacollider · 13/01/2018 23:36

I have a Leila Grin pronounced Lay-la. Haven't come across another one yet

JamMakingWannaBe · 15/01/2018 23:09

A-may-ah. But I think you will also get A-mya.

Lee-la (as in Sheila, Deirdre, Keira). If you prefer the a sound, you could consider the spelling Laila / Layla. There is a Leela in Futurama.
