What do you think of Leila?
Do you think it works with the pronunciation of LY-la? It is the way it would get pronounced here in Austria and I am wondering whether that pronunciation works in English speaking countries, Italy, Spain, Sweden or whereever else you are from :) How would it be pronounced where you live?

The Leila I know in the PNW pronounces her name LY-la.
She'd also get LAY-la, but I don't think it's too big of a deal.

I am from the US and would pronounce it Lay-la! Why not Lila?

It has something to do with the German pronunciation. I am French/Austrian. Lila in German would be said like LEE-la and it is a color (purple), a word. I love the look of Leila, the ei is really appealing to me.

I just noticed that it says on this site that LY-la is one of Leila's three English pronunciations. It is also a standard pronunciation in German speaking countries. If it can't be pronounced LY-la in English I am wondering why this pronunciation would appear on this site. Do you have an idea? Confusing :P

I like it! I have an internet friend named this, so it has a good association for me.
I usually pronounce it LAY-la, but I guess it could work as LY-la. *shrug*
