Lyla. Yes, it is matchy with Kayla but if that is your thing, go for it. My SILs are Gabrielle and Danielle. Matchy but it is a nice connection for them.
I like Lila. I don't think adding a silent h to the end of the second syllable has anything to do with the pronunciation of the first syllable.
This. I don't see how Lila or Lilah would = Lee-la. Lila, Lilah, Lyla all = Lie-la to me.
I don't have a strong preference with or without the h, but I do think it's a little too matchy with Kayla.

Re: H or no H?
How would you pronounce it?
Lila - to me - reads like lee - la
Lilah - to me - reads like lie - la
Same.
Lie-la
I prefer it as Lila with your pronunciation. Great name! It is a bit matchy with Kayla though.

I agree depends on how u want it pronounced
All of this.
Lilah is our top name right now.
I like it much better with the H. Makes it feel more "finished" and helps with the pronunciation of lie-la (IMO)
I think it is too matchy with Kayla.
I like either spelling, though, and I would pronounce them both the same.
