Lil-ja or Lil-ya?

Looking at taking a surname from my maternal family tree as a possible middle name. The correct pronunciation of [name]Lilja[/name] is [name]Lil[/name]-yah. But does it sound better as [name]Lil[/name]-jah?

I think it sounds much better as [name]Lil[/name]-yah.

No, I think it sounds lovely the way it’s mean to be pronounced: [name]Lil[/name]-ya
