Lila/Lyla pronunciation

jennlo11203 · June 2015

Hi all. This may be a dumb question but would you pronounce Lila and Lyla the same? I think of Lila as Mila with an L but maybe I'm spelling it wrong? Thanks for the help!

I pronounce it long i. Like L-eye-lah.

Agree with pp. My nieces name is Lilah. L-eye-luh

jennlo11203 · June 2015

Thank you. So say if you want Mila with an L like Li-la, how would you spell it. I don't know if I'm making sense or just made this name up in my head lol!

I've heared Lila pronounced both ways L-ee-lah and L-eye-lah.

jennlo11203 · June 2015

That's what I figured. I don't want Lyla. But I love Lila but I'm afraid everyone will call her Lyla.

Leela, Leila are options. I would pronounce it L-eye-la

I pronounce them the same. L-eye-la

jennlo11203 · June 2015

Thank you. I think Leela would be the correct way to spell it. Thanks so much

Haha I think I made it up. I'm not really sure lol. I think I combined Lyla and Mila!

Lila (L-eye-la) and Layla (which I think is pronounced phonetically)... Like the Eric Clapton song.

Lila the arsonist on Dexter pronounced it L-eye-la

Leela like futurama?

It's spelled Laila (lie-la) if one wishes to pronounce it that way. Of course you can spell it any uni-Kay Way one wishes to. But the correct spelling is Laila. That's Hebrew. If you want to spell it like Eric Clapton's song Layla (that's Arabic.) Lila I would think of Mila.
