I found about this name when I was in middle school and my sister had a friend on her softball team named Kalilah.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!

I pronounce it kah-LEE-lah.

this is the correct prn to my knowlegde but some dialect of people pronounce in a way that sounds more like kuh-lee-uh.
I prefer kuh-lee-luh, personally. One of my fave names!

I would pronounce Khalilah as "kah-LEE-luh" because I've always heard the male form, Khalil, pronounced that way. That might not be strictly correct. But practically speaking, that's the closest (I think) that anyone could hope for in English.

Khalilah is very pretty.

I would pronounce it like Delilah with a K. I don't like it with the h. Maybe just as Kalilah.
