My name is Lyla. I was named after my great aunt. Our name is pronounced LIE-Luh. To me the spelling and pronunciation of my name fits but people like to pronounce it lay-Luh or lee-Luh which I don't get because the other spellings of it, like if it was spelled Leila, that would be pronounced Leeluh and Layla or Laila would be lay-luh, Lila would be pronounced lih-luh where the I is short. I love my name. :)
