Re: How do you pronounce
in reply to a message by Lily
I pronounce them all the same way -- LAY-luh. I prefer Leila just because it looks most attractive. It's a lovely name, no question.
With Lila, my default pronunciation has the long i sound, however, I realize that many cultures pronounce it with the long e sound. I actually prefer the long e sound. These names aren't really on my radar so I'm not entirely sure how popular they are. OTOH, they're not that uncommon either.
