Layla = Lay-La
Leila = Lee-La
Laila = Lay-La
Leyla = Ley-La
Lila = Lie-La or Lee-La
Lyla = Lie-La

In Germany we pronounce:

---

Layla - LIE-lah
Leila - LIE-lah
Laila - LIE-lah

---

Leyla - LA-lah

---

Lila - LEE-lah

---

Lyla - LIE-lah

---

I prefer the Leyla spelling, whereas the others are all ok-names, too.
(Lila seems a bit nn)

Lila, Lyla, Laila - lie-lah

---

Layla, Leyla - lay-lah

---

Leila - lee-lah

---

Lila is my favourite (Lilah is my most favourite)
My aunt is Laila (said lie-lah, my grandma is Danish and said she picked this spelling because that's how it would be there?)
I don't mind Layla, but I really dislike the sound of lee-lah however it is spelled.

LAY = rhyme play, LYE = rhyme bye

---

Layla, Leila, Leyla = LAY-la
Laila = either LAY-la or LYE-la
Lila, Lyla = LYE-la

---

I like Leila the best, and Lyla is nice. I don't really like the sound of either one, though. The spelling Layla bugs me because it has the word lay in it.

Layla, Laila and Leyla I would pronounce LAY-lha. Leila I would pronounce LEE-lha. Lila and Lyla as LYE-lha.

---

My favorite us definitely Laila. I like the others as well, but I do think a Leyla would always have their name misspelled.

I pronounce these as LAY-lə:
Layla
Leila
Leyla
Laila

---

I pronounce these as LIE-lə:
Lila
Lyla
Laila

---

I would pronounce Lela and Leela as LEE-lə but you didn't mention those.

---

My least favorite spelling for both pronunciations is Laila. I don't like the look but I also dislike that it can be pronounced both ways.

---

I prefer the name LIE-lə. My favorite spelling for LIE-lə is Lila. I do like Lyla but I definitely prefer Lila. My favorite spelling for LAY-lə is Leila but Layla is a close second.

Leila, Layla, Layla: LAY-lah
Lila, Laila, Lyla: LIE-lah

---

I love Lila and like Leila. Not a fan of the other spellings. Layla and Lyla in particular irk me.

Layla & Laila: LAY-LA
Leila & Leyla: LEY-LA (not much of a sound difference from above when I speak but noticable if really pay attention)
Lila & Lyla: LIE-LA

Layla
Leila
Laila
Leyla

---

I pronounce all as LAY-luh and prefer the Leila spelling. I love Leila which is also the name of one of my cats.

---

Lila
Lyla

---

I pronounce these as LIE-luh. This name is just okay to me. It seems incomplete, like a form of Delilah or something. BTW, I like Delilah too and have it in mind for a future pet.

Layla - LAY-la
Leila - LAY-la
Laila - LAY-la or LYE-la
Leyla - LAY-la
Lila - LYE-la
Lyla - LYE-la

---

The only one I like is Lila.

Layla - LAY-la
Leila - Same
Laila - Same
Leyla - Same
Lila - LIE-la
Lyla - LIE-la

---

I like all of them. My favorite is probably good ole Layla.

Layla: How it looks, LAY-luh. It's one of my cousin's names, and I can't really imagine it being said any other way. I'd say Leila, Laila, and Leyla the same way,
Lila: LEE-luh
Lyla: LIE-luh

---

I think my favourite would be Layla or Lila. I just prefer the sound of both of them, and Lila (with that pronunciation) reminds me of Futurama too, sound wise (she was Leela) which is cool. If I had to actually name a child Layla or Lila I'd go for the latter to avoid accidental honouring since I'm not closer to her than any of my other cousins or anything.

Layla - LAY-luh
Leila - LEE-luh
Laila - LAY-luh
Leyla - LAY-luh
Lila - LEE-luh
Lyla - LIE-luh

Layla, Leila, Leyla - LAY-la
Laila, Lila, Lyla - LYE-la

---

My faves of each pronunciation are Leila and Lila, but if I had to chose one, it'd be Lila. I love all of them, though!

The first four I would pronounce LAY-lah.
Lila I always am torn between LIE-lah and LEE-lah.
Lyla is always LIE-lah.

---

My favourite is Lyla.
But next is probably Layla.

In Swedish the pr. would be:
Layla - LYE-luh
Leila - LAY-luh
Laila - LYE-luh
Leyla - LAY-luh
Lila - LEE-luh (Swedish word for purple)
Lyla - LEE-luh

---

Laila is Saami from the beginning. It's pretty common in northern Sweden. I work with a Laila and I also have a relative called Laila. It's pronounced LYE-luh.

---

In English I would pronounce Layla, Leila and Leyla LAY-luh, but I would pronounce Lila and Lyla LYE-luh.
They are all OK names, but I prefer the Saami name Laila.

Hi !!!

---

Leila and Laila are the better Italian spelling.
I know a Leila personally.

---

But I prefer the spelling Layla.
It is more similar to the Arabic transcription.
It is because it has a long "i" which is better transcribed with y while the "i" is better for the transcription of a short i like in bit.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
