HelpRe: Layla
in reply to a message by Lily8
I like it (and is it really that popular?)! I'm never sure how exactly it's supposed to be pronounced. I like it pronounced the Latinate way, which sounds like the word "night" in Hebrew. I'm inclined to pronounced Lila "leela". But I'm aware there seems to be some confusion on the question. Lila's cute, but it sounds a bit childish. I like Layla better.

How does it need to be pronounced so it sounds like the word night in Hebrew?

With an open "a" sound (the kind you find in French/Italian/Spanish) if that makes any sense. Y pro. ee and stress on the first a.
