Lyla or Lila?

What is the more acceptable spelling of this name? 

Re: Lyla or Lila?

    I think both are acceptable but most people tend to prefer Lila.  I actually prefer Lilah.  I think that with Lila people may mispronounce it Lee-la more often.

  • I think they are both legit alternate spellings.

    I don't want to confuse you but I prefer Lilah.

    I prefer Lilah too, but I think all variants are probably equally recognizable/acceptable.

  • I have a Lilah. In our case, a lot of people misspell it. Even her doctor's office sometimes writes Lila.

  • I like Lila
  • I think Lila. Or Lilah, which is another acceptable spelling. I prefer either of those to Lyla. The "y" thing is just so trendy and I think it doesn't look as nice.

  • We have a Lilah (with an H) and we get a ton of compliments on it. As far as spelling, they always ask how to once I say the name, regardless. So no matter what, you will be spelling it for people.

    No one ever mispronounces it when they see it written down though.

    I personally am not a fan of Lyla with a Y. Feels kinda "made up" to me.
