How would you spell a name that is pronounced ly-la?

[jasminesunflower]

Leila
Lila
Lyla
Laila

I don't like Lilah or Lylah.

Which spelling is the prettiest and easiest?

I'd go for Lyla.
For me Leila and Laila would be lay-la and Lila would be lee-la.

DMIL had a friend whose name was Lailagh, pronounced Lyla.
I think that looks a bit ugly, though.

Lyla is the best spelling, I think.

Actually, it was spelt Leilagh.

Lila is the prettiest spelling but Lyla would be pronounced the same.

Lyla

Lyla. It’s fairly popular so can’t imagine it will be a problem.

Lyla

Lila is Lee-Luh I think

Leila/Leila is definitely Lay-luh

there are an AWFUL lot of these type of names about OP

Lila is the ‘correct’ spelling in my opinion and looks best. Lyla would be pronounced as you want it to be too.

Go the full Irish and Loabhriemn

Ones I know are Lila, Lyla and Laylah.

Lyla or Lila.

I have a lyla, never had it pronounced wrong.

Lila or Lyla

This

I only know a Lila pronounced as Lee-la and Leila pronounced as Lay-la.

I know three pronounced the way you like. Two are Lyla and one is Lilah.

The Irish spelling would be Ladhla.

That is actually very pretty! Though would be mispronounced “ladder” in England.

Lyla definitely. The other 3 can be pronounced in different ways quite easily and Lyla just makes the most sense and is also the prettiest.

Contrary to most PP I would pronounce both Leila and Laila as Ly-la. So personally I would choose one of those.

But I’m clearly in the minority.

I'd say Laila as Lyla too.
I'd pick a different name because there are so many similar names - Lila, Lyra, Lyla, Lily, Lilah, Delilah, Luna etc

Not keen on the Lyla spelling

Only Lyla leave no room for error!

This.

That list to me is:
Lay-la
Lee-la
Lie-la
Lay-la

Lila or Lyla. I prefer the "i".

Leila and Laila would be pronounced "Layla" in my accent.

I know a lee-la spelt leila
