[Opinions] Re: Layla
Do you pronounce Leila as LY-la as well? I think most people in Germany do. So that would probably be better than Layla where some say LAY-la and some LY-la. I only worry that Leila sounds too much like "leider".Laelia looks pretty I will look it up. I think it could really grow on me.Oh and I hate Kayla ugh...

Hmmm. Actually I'd pronounce it like LAY-lah, but LIE-lah makes more sense, at least in Germany. That said, I don't think I know a single Leila. Everyone spells it Laila, Layla or Lejla, so the first Leila I'll meet will probably influence my pronunciation of the name."Leider" has never come to mind when I've heard Leila. Stupid association, but it wouldn't bother me too much.
