It seems like this name would be pronounced RILL-lah, and not RYE-lah; the latter is prettier, though.

Gorgeous name. Unique and individual without being perceived as strange in any way. It's cute on a little girl, yet Grandma Rilla, Aunt Rilla or Dr. Rilla is easy to imagine too.

Cute! It reminds me of Rilla Blythe, Anne of Green Gables' daughter.
