[name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct was actually Lil-uh. Like [name_f]Lily[/name_f].

3

I know 3 baby [name_f]Lilas[/name_f] and all of them are pronounced Ly-la!

4

The [name_f]Lilas[/name_f] I’ve encountered have pn it Ly-luh (though I believe some spelled it [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] as that’s the more popular sp in the UK)

Depends. In an Anglophone context, I would assume it’s pronounced like [name_f]Lyla[/name_f].
In a non-anglophone context (e.g. if the person named [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is European or Latin American), I would assume like [name_f]Leela[/name_f].
