My daughter, 2yrs, is named [name]Lila/name [name]Aveline[/name] (A veh leen). I get a lot of compliments on her middle name. I think if u pronounce it the ay way it will be mis pronounce a lot and you will have to keep correcting people. This might get annoying. I always have to tell people leela not lyla. [name]Just[/name] something to think about.
I’ve never met anyone with the name, but I assumed it was pronounced Ay-veh-line. Thats how I say it in my head anyway. I like that pronunciation! Good luck!
