I would say Leela over Lila because in English-speaking countries, most people are going to pronounce Lila as LY-la. I don't get futurama from it at all. I had a babysitter named Lela, pronounced the same way, who was from India. I always think about her when I hear the name, and actually, I prefer Lela to Leela.

•I prefer Lila, but if you are trying to reflect the Indian background of the name, I like Leela better. nt · Amy · 4/1/2012, 12:12 PM
