EarsToYou · November 2010

WDYT of the name Lila?

Do you consider it popular/trendy, or is it still pseudo-unusual/not overdone?

Which spelling: Lila, Lilah, Lyla, Lylah

TIA!

I love the name Lilah. I think that it is definitely becoming more popular recently.

patter01 · November 2010

Semi-popular. I like Lila.

ohfour · November 2010

Popular IMO. I like it better than any Lily names though. I like Lilah or Lila.

I like Lila better than Lilah. I don't like Lyla nor Lylah (it doesn't sound the same as Lila the way I pronounce it). Overall, NMS.

I like the name Lila, spelled Lila or Lilah. I'm not a fan of the name spelled Lyla or Lylah.

Guess I'm in the minority on this one. I like Lyla. Had a friend in high school with that name/spelling so maybe that's why? Love the name though.

I think Lilah is pretty. I prefer it spelled this way.

EarsToYou · November 2010

I prefer it spelled Lilah too Smile

I'm bummed it seems to be pretty popular though, we wanted something that wasn't as far up on the radar!

I love this name and will use it myself if I ever have a girl. I think it is gaining in popularity, but I don't think it is overdone. I prefer the spelling Lilah.

Becoming popular. I like it. Lila.

alohamora · November 2010

I have to say I feel like I see this name on the board very often. I prefer the spelling Lila.

forensicmama · November 2010

I think it's pretty, but I would never use it. I prefer Lilah as the spelling.

Lila is my favorite girl name. I've had it picked out since before DS #1 was here. Adore it. I'd say it's growing in popularity, but not enough to stop me from using it. I like Lila best, but Lilah is growing on me.

mj.reilly:
Okay. Popular. NMS. Lilah or Lila.

This.

desdemona39 · November 2010

Lilah. Very pretty!

brookelynpaisley · November 2010

I like the spelling Lyla, just so there's no confusion over pronunciation. I think it's a pretty name, but I see it here a lot. I'm on the fence whether it actually grows well.

msmerymac · November 2010

If it's a standalone name, I prefer Lila. If it's short for Delilah, I prefer Lilah (the latter happens to be my cat's name, but I think it's perfectly fine for a human).
