I would like to know how the name AYLA is pronounced. I found this name while reading the book The Clan of the Cave Bear. If you know, i would really like to know how it is pronounced. Thanks.

I have a friend named Aila, which I assume is a variant of Ayla, though it isn't on thie site. She pronounces it Eye-la. And I agree; it is a beautiful name :).
I have a friend's mother whose name is Ayla (her parents are Turkish). It is pronounced "EYE la"
AY-la, I would say
Ayla has several derivations; click on the hyperlink for the various meanings.
Ayla is roughly sounded out a couple of times in the book, iirc. I'm too lazy to go and look it up right now though, sorry. ;-)

I would pronounce it EYE-luh.
I would guess either AY-lah or EYE-lah, but I'm not certain.
