Which spelling do you prefer (pronunciation LIE-la)

This is my first poll, so please be gentle!  I love the name pronounced LIE-la, but I am really struggling with the spelling.  Each one looks 'funny' to me.  Lila looks like LEE-la (maybe I'm jaded from the movie Lilo and Stitch); Lilah makes me think of the radio show Delilah & I hear that swanky music playing; and Lyla look too much like Lyle (negative connotation due to gross old boss).  Thoughts ladies?  After writing all this out - I might end up scratching this off my list afterall :)

  • I honestly think any of those spellings would be pronounced correctly, however I don't care for "y's" in the middle of names or superfluous "h's", so I picked Lila.  GL deciding!

  • Lila or Lilah.  I don't care for Lyla- IMO it looks like Lyle on first glance.

    I haven't either. My grandma's name is Lila and I've never even considered being able to pronounce it another way. Lilah is tolerable. Lyla is horrible.

    I prefer Lilah.  DD was named after a family member that spelled it Lila, but I like it better with an h.
