I say LIE-lak and oh! I absolutely adore it! lilac is probably one of my favorite flower names. I hate Lila on its own; it's so insubstantial and flimsy, but the harsh c on the end adds quirky spunk and creates an entirely different image!
And who cares if your family pronounces it differently from you? It's your baby so however you pronounce it is correct (unless, of course, you prefer some really contrived way like leh-LEEk:) )and they would be rude to refer to her in a different way.
