Help[Opinions] Lila or Leela (more)
Can you put your answer in the subject line?
I pronounce them both the same: LEE-la
I used to think Leela was ugly but it has really grown on me.
Is it too Futurama?
Thanks

Definitely too Futurama
I love the show, but unless you want people to make cyclops jokes....I also don`t like spellings with two "e"s; too over the top. Which works for a cartoon mutant; not so much for a human.

Leela
I would say Leela over Lila because in English-speaking countries, most people are going to pronounce Lila as LY-la. I don't get futurama from it at all. I had a babysitter named Lela, pronounced the same way, who was from India. I always think about her when I hear the name, and actually, I prefer Lela to Leela.

I think it's somewhat "Futurama" but that would be less frustrating than Lila, pronounced LEE-la.

I much prefer Lila pronounced LIE-luh (lie rhyming with sky), and I think most people will pronounce it this way. With Leela, you make the pronunciation you want much more clear.

I prefer Lila, but if you are trying to reflect the Indian background of the name, I like Leela better.

You will see both, but I think they use EE to make the pronunciations more clear. I know a Deep that uses the spelling Dip, so most people pronounce his name that way rather than the "i" making the "ee" sound. And like the other poster had said, some may misprounced Lila as LY-la. So I think that's why "EE" is used a lot. You can certainly use both, but I think EE just makes it look a little more Indian just in case that's what you're looking for.
