  The placement of the /a/ and /i/ together would tell me to pronounce it "LAY-lah"

  please settle a debate between my cousin and me:  she says it's "L-eye-lah" but I think "L-ay-lah".

   

  Thanks! 

  It's Lay-la, but I can see where she'd think Lye-la, since you pronounce Tai and Kai that way (I've even subbed for a student named Kaila who pronounced it like Kyla).

  I'd definitely say Lye-lah. The -ai combo throws me off in this name!

  It's LAY luh.

  LIE luh would be spelled Lyla, Lilah, etc.

  I'd say lay-luh at first, but I wouldn't side-eye it if it was lie-luh.

  Don't know the context, but if you want to use it I would go with Leila or even Layla-.
