nee lah

My brain saw "Neil" and added an a so pronounced it neelah.

Saw a post from you on another board and think this name would sound good with its sibling's name if you choose it (same syllables, same rythmn, same "a" sound at end). Although you didn't ask me for that opinion. .

I went to school with a Leila who was Leela.

little abc, i dont have any A sounds at the end of siblings names...but the syllables is right ;) thanks. I think it would go nicely too. I am just wary of giving a name that will always have to be explained. I think the majority would be same as you, would think neil then add the a.
