ArchivesLileth
Has anyone ever heard of this name? I suppose it' s a variant of Lilith, however, how would it be pronounced? My cousin named his daughter this, and he pronounces it LIE-leth, and I read it as LIL-eth.

Given that Lily, Lilli etc can be a nn for Elizabeth, this could be an extended form of Lily or a reduced Elizabeth, at least in your cousin's mind! And it could work perfectly well - keeping the pretty sound and appearance, but avoiding all the baggage associated with demon wives!
That would also, perhaps, account for the LIE, as in Eliza.

It appears to be a variation Lileth and I would say it would be prn exactly the same way. I don't see really why the "e" would make that much of a difference in the pronunciation, but to each their own...
