I need help deciding! A double 'll' can also sound like a 'Y' (in Spanish & sometimes in French too). I don't know if the 'Y' sound would be too much of a stretch for most people. Which pronunciation do you think would sound better for the name Kamalla. ka-ma-la or as ka-my-uh (the name predominitely means 'lotus', 'love/desire', in Hindi and 'the garden' in Hawaiian). Also what does each pronunciation make you first think of and why did you choose one over the other? Thanks :)
