Phonetically speaking, it cannot be pronounced like Lyla. Its pronounced like Layla.
If you wan't the pronunciation of Lyla but not that spelling, people spell it Lila or Lilah.

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

LiaMaria seems to have very strong ideas, heh. Leila can definitely be LY-la -- and is, for many people.

I do. Sorry, the spelling is really confusing in the United States for someone who wants it pronounced like Lyla. I have never heard it pronounced Lyla here.
