Pronunciation of Lila?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there, just a quick question how would you pronounce the name [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. I would say lie-la but some people pronounce it differently such as li-la exactly how it is spelt but I don’t know!
Thanks.

In the UK it’s generally LIE-luh, though I’ve also heard [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-luh.

I’d pronounce it Lie-la as well. I’m American, if that makes a difference.

My daughter’s name is [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] and I pronounce it LIE-luh

I would also say LIE-luh

Lie-luh for me, too! Such a pretty name. The pronunciation [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-luh is cute, too, but I wouldn’t say it that way unless I was told to, or it was spelled [name_f]Leelah[/name_f] or maybe even [name_f]Leila[/name_f] (I mostly say [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-la for that though).

To me:
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] = Li-La
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] = [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-La
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] = Lie-La

I didn’t know there was any pronunciation other than Lie-lah.

I would say Lie-lah - A cousin of mine has just named her daughter [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] (in the UK) , and everyone has pronounced it Lie-lah :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] I would pronounce [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-lah
[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] I would pronounce LIE-lah

I pronounce it Lie-luh.

I would say LIE-luh

Lie-lah! I love the name [name_f]Lila[/name_f], it’s so pretty!

I also pronounce it as Lie-luh

I say LIY-lah. Prefer the spelling [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], though.

I would pronounce it [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-la. It’s my first thought and what I would think to be the prettiest sound in my own personal opinion.

With that spelling I would say Lie-lah

LYE-lah/LIE-lah for me, too. Although I’ve also heard that [name_f]LIL[/name_f]-ah and [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-lah can be acceptable pronunciations of the name, but LIE-lah is the only one that makes sense to me, personally. :wink:
