If this is a girl, she'll be Lila. My great-Grandmother is Lila and My name has an H at the end, so we're going with Lilah.

If it's pronounced like Lyla, then use the H or she'll be called Leela.

I disagree with this completely. I would never pronounce it Leela.

I vote no h.

I prefer Lilah.

prefer Lila...

and not that it matters, but my grandma spelled it Lyla so that is what I am used to and almost used for my daughter.

I like the h, of course.

My dd is Lila and in 9 months she has never been called Leela.

Exactly how does the h change the sound of the i?

Lilah, of course. I feel like it looks incomplete without the 'h'. I also like sarah w/ the 'h' better too. I feel like Lilah just looks prettier and more feminine.

. I also like the h. I think it's a personal preference. I also like the h on Norah and Sarah too.
