HelpChris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger had a daughter
Her birth was announced on both of her parents' Instagram a few hours ago. They named her:
Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt
She has a half-brother named Jack Pratt (b. 2012), from Chris' previous marriage to actress Anna Faris.
WDYT? The middle name honours her maternal grandmother Maria Shriver, who is a niece of the late US president John F. Kennedy.

Agree. Lila is LEE-la, Lilah and Lyla are LIE-la. I'm sure there are enough people out there named Lila LIE-la for it to be a "legit name", but it really doesn't look like LIE-lah to me. It's more intuitive to pronounce Lila as, well, Li-la.
I guess I associate Lila / Lilah with Maria / Mariah, so that's why I automatically say it differently with and without the h? Lyla is more obvious but I think it looks more trendy.

The pronunciation of Lyla seems pretty obvious to me. Like Kyla or Kylie or Rylee or Skylynn.
Maybe it's different for people who don't speak English, but that doesn't seem to be the issue here.

I think there was a grandmother or something on my stepfather's side who was Lela, pronounced LEE-la.
I once met a very old lady whose name was Leila, pronounced Lee-EYE-la.

In Germany Leila and Laila are always pronounced as LY-la. Leyla and Layla are usually LAY-la, but Layla can be LY-la too.
Lila is a Sanskrit name and that is definitely pronounced LEE-la. However it can also be short for Delilah and then it's LY-la. There's really no way to tell which is why I'd avoid them even though I do like Lila and Leila.

It's a cute name, not too bad as far as celebrity baby names go, although I prefer the spelling Lila. I'm generally not a fan of name combos that end with the same letter, so I think Lila Marie sounds better, but it's nice that it's honoring her grandmother.
As far as Jack Pratt, I like the name Jack, but with Pratt it reminds me of Jack Sprat.

I like it! Lyla is really growing on me lately.
I have no idea who they are btw, but god name!

Of all the names in all the world... and they pick Lyla. I mean, it's fine. It's nice enough. It just doesn't have any, I don't know, zing. And the spelling bugs me. I think Lila is nicer, though still about as interesting to me as paste. Is almost prefer something as commonplace as Sophia instead, because at least Sophia packs a punch.
It would have been really cool if they'd named her Maria.

I like Maria too. I like Lila but Lyla looks trendy. At least the pronunciation is clear.
Also, with all the different spellings Lyla is actually very common :/ Lyla, Lila, Leila, Laila, Layla (and I never know which ones are LY-la, which ones are LAY-la or LEE-la). I actually love Lila and Leila but because there are so many pronunciation issues and so many similar names I wouldn't use them.

Lyla Maria is very pretty! Nice to see a pair of celebrities use sense when naming.
Although, Jack Pratt is AWFUL! Like Jack Spratt. Even without the nursery rhyme, it sounds gross. I'll attribute that to Anna Faris's influence.

Lyla Maria is pretty good. I guess I would have preferred Lilah Maria but Lyla is good too, and the shorter version might go better with Jack anyway.
Schwarzenegger and Pratt both sound terrible to me. I don't think they had a good option available! Schwarzenegger is long and confusing, and Pratt sounds like a cross between "brat", "prattle", and a fart noise.

Cool, definitely not as bad as a lot of other names. I don’t mind Lyla, but prefer either Layla or Lila.
Maria is nice since it’s honoring, otherwise it’s like the most boring of all boring names.
Why in the world would you want to saddle a poor child with Schwarzenegger? I mean, sure, I get that maybe The mom wants her to have her same last name, but I just wouldn't. Lol... If it were me, she would be Lyla Maria Pratt.
My maiden name was a German last name nearly the same length and just about it as hard to pronounce, but I gladly left it behind in favor of my husbands English, easy to spell and say last name.
That’s just my opinion :)
