Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce and what do you think of (Layla, Lila, Leila etc.)
in reply to a message by Perrine
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.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
