Quick survey: how would you say "Lila"?

[bkkmom]

Just curious, maybe it's not obvious...

Thx!

Lil-a as in lily but with an a. Someone I knew too. Lovely name btw.

Lie - la

lee-la is spelt leala. I know my nephew is called Leala poor thing

Obviously I meant neice not nephew

Lie - la

Jaquie, felt really sorry for your nephew for a moment.

So basically

Leala, Lela, Leela all sound the same

Lila, Lyla, Lilah all sound the same

Layla, Laila, Laela all sound the same

Leila sounds like any of the above so don't go for that one if you don't want people to get confused

LIE LA

Lie - la

The Lila I know says it Lee-la, but then she's not English and 'i' in French is 'ee' anyway.

I think if you spell it Lilah it makes it less open to possible confusion (assuming you want the Lie-la pron.!), I also know a baby called Lyla. Lovely name any spelling!

Lila is German for Lilac, and it's pronounced Lee-la (in German and French).

Agree that to avoid any possible confusion, the most obvious options (for a Ly-la pronounciation) would be

Lilah

or

Lyla
