Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce and what do you think of (Layla, Lila, Leila etc.)
in reply to a message by Perrine
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.
