Only problem: is it pronounced as "lee-la" or as "lie-la"? I'd like Lila May, Lila Fay, Lila Joy or Lila Jane.- She said he made a racial slur!
- Racial? She is Swedish!
- Maybe he called her Meatball.Equality never goes out of style.

I'd automatically say LIE-la. I'd be even more sure of that if the spelling was Lilah (which also looks prettier imo). In Sweden, I really can't guess how people would pronounce it at first glance. There's also Lyla, like the Oasis song, but I don't think that looks as attractive as the others.ETA: I know a girl who spells it Leila and says LIE-la, too. But I'd be more inclined to say Leila as LAY-la for some reason. :Shrug:
Would Leila be LIE-la, phonetically, in Swedish? I know it would in German but I suppose that's not much help. Or how about Laila?_____________________________________________________________________Elinor

I'm in the midwestern U.S., and I've always heard Leila pronounced LIE-la. That's the only spelling for LIE-la that I like, but I think people would prn. it as LAY-la, which I don't like."No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

But will everybody know this?You want the Lie-lah pronunciation but I think the other one is as legitimate. So the name might be mispronounced.I think you would get the right pronunciation always if you spelt it Lilah or Lyla. But then people would misspell it instead. ;)- She said he made a racial slur!

This is the only way i've ever heard it pronounced, so no, i don't think it would be a problem..:Shelby:.

DittoI'm in the U.S., like Shelby, and I've only ever seen Lila pronounced LIE-la, so I don't think it would be an issue. I think Lilah or Lyla would cause more problems with spelling than Lila would with pronunciation.
