[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] like the end of [name_f]Deliah[/name_f]. It makes the most sense to me.

I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f]!

I definitely like [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] best! It looks more complete to me with the H.

I have a soft spot for [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], so that. I don’t like -h at the end of names, it looks tacky to me!

IMHO [name_f]Lylah[/name_f] and to an lesser extent [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] just look wrong

I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as a name in itself, but as a nn for [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] it’s definitely [name_f]Lilah[/name_f].

Though if the name it’s a nn of is spelled without the h or with a y instead, then I prefer it to be how it’s spelled in the given name.

[name_f]Lila[/name_f], definitely! I’m fine with [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] is okay. [name_f]Lylah[/name_f] just looks tacky to me.

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is the most meaningful to me.

I like all of them except [name_f]Lylah[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] best.

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is my fave for its vintage charm. [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] just looks like [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] with the first syllable chopped off, [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] reminds me of [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] [name_m]Lovett[/name_m] and [name_f]Lylah[/name_f] is plain ugly and hurts my feelings. :slight_smile:

I’m going to be hypocritical here, and say [name_f]Lila[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]. I actually hate my name without the h at the end, because it looks really incomplete, but [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] (in my opinion) looks more like a nn for [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], rather than a stand alone name.

[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] is my favorite, if you’re pronouncing it as in the end of [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. If the pronounciation is lee-lah, I think [name_f]Lila[/name_f] fits better. I don’t mind [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], although I don’t like it nearly as much as [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] or [name_f]Lila[/name_f].

I think the h in [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] makes this name look perfect and pretty.
