Re: Lila is pretty
in reply to a message by Ylva
I'd automatically say LIE-la. I'd be even more sure of that if the spelling was Lilah (which also looks prettier imo). In Sweden, I really can't guess how people would pronounce it at first glance. There's also Lyla, like the Oasis song, but I don't think that looks as attractive as the others.ETA: I know a girl who spells it Leila and says LIE-la, too. But I'd be more inclined to say Leila as LAY-la for some reason. :Shrug:
Would Leila be LIE-la, phonetically, in Swedish? I know it would in German but I suppose that's not much help. Or how about Laila?_____________________________________________________________________Elinor

I'm in the midwestern U.S., and I've always heard Leila pronounced LIE-la. That's the only spelling for LIE-la that I like, but I think people would prn. it as LAY-la, which I don't like."No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
