Help[Opinions] Re: Leila
in reply to a message by RoxStar
My Random House unabridged dictionary published in 1987 gives Lee-la as the first pronunciation and Lay-luh as the second for Leila.
I've never heard the 3 syllable pronunciation before but I'm not shocked by it. You say you used to work in that office -- if that patient was 70 then, how old would she be today? The women I new named Leila as a child would all have been at least 50 years older than me and so would be at least 120 if they were alive today, which of course none of them are.
