sorry for this name post, but how would you pronounce Lila?

Lie-Lah

Lie-luh. If I wanted it to be pronounced Lee-luh, I'd spell it Lela.

Ly-lah.

Lie-lah, also spelled Lyla.

If you want Lee-lah, then spell it Leela (like Futurama, but also a common Indian name).

If you want Lil-lah, then you should use two L's like Lilla. I think Lilla is super pretty, very scandinavian.

I love Lila pronounced Leela -- it's a nice Sanskrit name-- but don't like the Leela spelling. Doesn't look as pretty to me, so we rejected the name altogether because my experience reflected what most PPs say: Americans pronounce Lila with the eye sound.

What name did you decide on?

Lay-luh, yes, as in Leila or Leyla.

Yes, Leela is an Indian name pronounced like that. Quite nice, I think.
