Help[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation Question
in reply to a message by paigeag
Most likely lee-lah (based on people I know with Indian names that have the A and I in them. All the I's are pronounced EE, not IE).
Also as a colour Lila is in Dutch pronounced as LEE-lah as well.
When I see it I say LEE-lah immediately, because of the colour, but if it was a name on English speaking person I'd assume LIE-lah.

I agree
It would be the same in Sweden, lila the colour is pronounced LEE-la so that is my first reaction. But as a name on someone from and English speaking country I would assume it was LIE-la.
I've never hear people say LIE-lo instead of LEE-lo though (Lilo) so I would hesitate.
