that does sound weird. do you like Lilly Illa (ill-uh) any better?

It's an improvement but still to many L's for my taste. Also Illa does remind me a bit of the word 'ill'. So maybe Lilly Ila (EE-lah) would make it better.

to me Ila looks like eye-luh, which I do like. Lily Ila. maybe. but I still like Illa. I know there's the "ill" reference, but it's softer, to me anyway.

thanks for your feedback. :)

Umm

I'm afraid I don't like your pronunciation at all, sorry. Lily Illa makes me sound sick!

I guess I can see that, but the way I say it there isn't so much emphasis on the "ill" part (I just write it that way to get the point across). It's like Ella with an I, soft and pretty.

but to each his or her own. I still like it. thx for the opinion.
