Kalila..how is it pronounced & opinion?
What do you think of this name?
Do you like the original pronunciation of Kah-LEE-lah or do you like Kah-LYE-lah?

It is ok, but I prefer Khalilah. I prefer kah-LEE-lah.

Kah-LEE-lah out of the options you gave, but when I see this name I have a tendency to think of Muhammed Ali's wife, and want to say Kay-LEE-lah.

Well to be honest, I don't really like the name at all. I think kah-LEE-lah is probably a better pronunciation though.

I like kah-LEE-lah. It's pretty but seems a bit made up, even though it isn't.

I like Ka-lye-la because i like lyla not lila just as a general phonetic preference

I would say Kah-LEE-lahMy initial reaction was that it sounds like an alcoholic drink (Kalua + Tequila?). It also kind of seems made-up and hard to pronounce. I'm not a fan. I'd prefer Katrina or Delilah, depending on the pronunciation.

I definitely prefer it pronounced kah-LEE-lah. I think it's very pretty, but needs a stronger mn--something like Isolde or Hermia.

I would prounce it as Kah-LEE-lah.

How would you pronounce the nn Lila? As LYE-lah or LEE-lah assuming you pronounce Kalila Kah-LEE-lah.
