English speakers would pronounce it as Lie-la.

Persians say Lee-la.

I would say Lee-la. I guess I'd expect Lyla if that's the desired pronunciation.

Leela = Leela

Leila = Lay-lah

Liela = not a real name.


+1 But I guess it is just based on familiarity with those names being pronounced that way, because on Lila, change the second 'L' to and "S" and it is Lisa, pronounced with a long e sound instead of the long i sound.

Lie (long "I" sound like "eye") + la (like "fa la la")

Lie-la. Wouldn’t occur to me to pronounce it Lee-la and that is also a much uglier sounding name. Lie-la is pretty.

Depends on which language.
Layla in English,
Lee la in most other languages.

Lye lah. Long I sound.

I've never heard this name pronounced Lee-lah.

Basic English grammar here--a vowel is long when it is followed by a single consonant and then another vowel.
