Pronunciation of Lilith

Ok, so I have always pronounced [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] as “lil-ith”. But, I’ve heard some people pronounce it as if the H was silent: “[name_f]Lil[/name_f]-it”. Then, I asked a group of my friends about it, I wrote [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] down on a piece of paper and asked them to say it out aloud. I was shocked when half of them replied “[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-ith”.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you say it?

The way you thought - [name_f]Lil[/name_f]-ith.

I’ve always said [name_f]Lil[/name_f]-ith…

Hello! [name_f]Do[/name_f] people not remember [name_m]Frazier[/name_m]'s ex wife? [name_f]Lil[/name_f] ith.

I’ve always pronounced it [name_f]Lil[/name_f]-ith.

I have never heard of anyone with the name before but I would pronounce it [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-ith.

It’s definitely lil-ith and I’m surprised anyone would pronounce it differently. It looks exactly as it sounds. A lovely name btw, one of my favourites!
