Interesting name. Not sure I'd actually use this spelling. How would anglophones actually say this? Thek-lah? tek-lah? teek-lah? theek-lah? I like teek-lah, but the others aren't very lyrical to me.

In Greek the name is pronounced "TEH-klah" ("TAY-kla" is close to the actual pronunciation).

I have a great-great aunt with this name (although I'm not positive this is how she spelled it) and everyone in the family pronounces it "TEHK-la". Then again they're from Wisconsin so who knows!

This name is very unusual - I find the the k part offputting.
