I think this name is lovely! Not super popular, so your child won't end up with another person named the same thing in their class, but not too unique, so they don't hate you for naming them Lilah. I much prefer this spelling, as it is easier to pronounce, but people always spell it wrong! I know this from personal experience.
I've never thought of this name being etymologically related to Leila at all. I always thought it was a short form of Delilah. That said, I find Delilah far more substantial than just Lilah, and prefer Leila (lay-luh) to Lilah as well.

I hate when people personalize or customize names with a random h at the end. I completely prefer the spelling Lila.

Not a fan at all. I know a few with this name that totally turned me off to the name!
