Lilah

Same! Think it's a beautiful name (:

LyndseylovesHugh

Great name!  I prefer the spelling Lilah!

[lu?ia]

Lila is my preference but Lilah is fine as well. Liala looks like "lee-AL-a" to me.

Lila is the original Sanskrit name that means 'play'. I'm not sure why people toss an H in there....it's unnecessary. Kind of makes me think it was influenced by Sarah. The third option looks like it changes the pronunciation.

Lila. Simple and streamlined.

I would pronounce Liala lee-ah-luh.

alohamora

Lila

jessicasuzann

Definitely Lila.

SarahPLiz

Lila. No extra letters needed. I used to work with a Lila and she was a lovely person. Great choice!

As a standalone name I prefer Lila.

As a nickname for Delilah I prefer Lilah.

I wouldn't pronounce the third one the same way as pp have mentioned.

agreed!

Lila.

I tend to think the spelling with the least amount of letters is not only usually the most proper, but the prettiest.

I prefer Lila.  The H on Lilah looks unnecessary to me.  And the third option would change the pronunciation.

JingleBeIIe

Lila. I'm not a fan of extra h's

Lila, for sure.  I'm not a fan of throwing in extra letters just because people think it looks 'pretty'.  

The third option looks completely made up and I don't think anyone would know how to pronounce it.

Lilah.

Though, if it were a choice, I'd prefer Lyla. I'm in the minority on that one because of the Y, but I think it leaves no question as to the pronunciation. At least the H on Lilah possibly gives a clue that it's like the end of Delilah and not Lee-la.
