I would pronounce this as Kie-luh.

There was a joke at my old school that on the first day, all the teachers would mispronounce my name Kaila (KY-LAH). Even in my dad's family they gave me a nickname so they wouldn't say it wrong. Now I am called 'Lala" by them. They are practically chopping the last syllable and saying it twice. Makes me feel bad sometimes when they even say Lala wrong.

My name is Kaila. It is pronounced kay-la. I am a teacher and English minor. If anyone knows phonics they would know that when you put two vowels together the first letter typical says it's own long sound. "Two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking... and says its name". So, Kay. Why was I named with an I and not y? My mother didn't want my name shortened to "kay" as a nickname.
I agree different cultures and languages have different character sounds. AI CAN be sounded with a long I sound... such as Tai, Thai. But in English it should have a long vowel A sound.
In this day and age you see all the more names spelled differently just for the sake of being different. I've seen Kaela, Kayluh, Caella, not to mention Caila (as in the Bachelor series).
I would also like to say I've been called Kyla too. And grew up with so many close names that we were always confused.
I am excited though, my whole life my name never seemed to have a meaning. And now I do! It was always too new or different and never in baby name books. I was the only Kaila growing up no matter how it was spelled and I loved It! I now hear that name everywhere and see more and more spelled the same way. Makes me a little less unique.

My name is also Kaila and is pronounced like Kayla. Not everyone is going to pronounce it the same way. So yes, it can be pronounced like Kayla.

Don't you think people with the name Kaila would know how to pronounce it? Its pronounced like Ki-La. The first a is silent! It's not Kayla or Kayleigh.

This is pronounced key-lah, like Kayla. The second letter is a tsvey yudn, not a pasekh tsvey yudn.

If it is Yiddish the pronunciation would be kyla, the same if it's Indian.
