How would you spell "lie-lah"?

Girl Names
1

For a long time I’ve thought that [name_f]Layla[/name_f] was normally pronounced as “lie-lah”, but the more I looked into it, the more I saw it being pronounced “lay-luh”. The same thing for [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] is “lie-lah” spelled then?

2

[name_f]Lila[/name_f]. It’s the most simple spelling and most lovely (imo).

3

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is the standard spelling, I think. But I know a [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] and a [name_f]Lilah[/name_f].

[name_f]Layla[/name_f] is definitely lay-luh.

4

[name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_f]Laila[/name_f], [name_f]Leilah[/name_f] (lay-lah)

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] (lie-lah and lee-lah) and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] (lie-lah)

5

[name_f]Lila[/name_f]. I love it.

6

I would go with [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] or [name_f]Lila[/name_f]

7

[name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. Like the end of ‘[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]’.

8

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] is how I would spell it

9

[name_f]Lila[/name_f], or maybe [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] in the world would [name_f]Layla[/name_f] be lie-luh? [name_m]Lay[/name_m] =/= lie.

10

My first though was [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]. I would probably go with that, [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] or [name_f]Lila[/name_f].

I pronounce [name_f]Layla[/name_f] and [name_f]Laila[/name_f] lay-luh. And [name_f]Leila[/name_f] lay-luh or lee-luh.

11

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] for lie-luh. The [name_f]Lila[/name_f] I knew was [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-luh. I always pronounce [name_f]Layla[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] as [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-luh.

12

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. I would never pronounce either of those as “lay-luh”…I don’t understand how you can even get lay-luh from [name_f]Lila[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. If someone were to pronounce either as lay-luh, I would just assume they were reading the name way too fast.

I love [name_f]Lila[/name_f], by the way…it is beautiful!

13

If I heard “lie-lah” I would imagine it was spelled [name_f]Lila[/name_f].

14

I love this name and I have decide to spell it [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] as the H makes it look more complete x

15

I would spell it [name_f]Lila[/name_f].

16

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. I feel like you lose the softness with the “y” in this name for some reason.

[name_f]Leila[/name_f] is “lay-la” to me.

17
  1. [name_f]Lila[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]

[name_f]Layla[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] are almost always lay-luh, as far as I know.

18

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f]! [name_f]Lila[/name_f] looks like lee-lah to me.

19

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is my favorite. Simple and beautiful.

20

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f].

I would say [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] as [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-luh.
