Now I am maybe leaning toward "Lilah". It is really pretty! nana87 on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-806266 Thu, 23 May 2013 23:08:13 +0000 nana87 806266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lilah is on my name list! dh isn't as sold, but I love it! dolphin on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-806227 Thu, 23 May 2013 22:33:18 +0000 dolphin 806227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lyla!

I'm old and you may not know WTH that is!), they had a friend named Lila Fowler. I was never sure if it was LYla or LEEla and I wanted it to be LYla so that's what I went with:). So just due to pronunciation issues I vote LYLA....Beautiful! jmarionsmith on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-806038 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:13:53 +0000 jmarionsmith 806038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ lilah. to me, its the same pronunciation as delilah, just without the "de." anbanan15 on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805998 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:04:07 +0000 anbanan15 805998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like Lila! And I would pronounce it LIE-la. yerpie110 on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805976 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:58:57 +0000 yerpie110 805976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm biased because that's the name of one our of closest friends' daughter, and they spell it Lyla, so that's what I chose! No one , at least not to my knowledge, has ever mis-pronounced it. kjpugs on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805928 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:47:57 +0000 kjpugs 805928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lyla, like Kyla! I think Lila is easily confused with Lee-la (DH's cousin's daughter is Lila and I STILL cannot remember if it's LIE-la or LEE-la. Seriously. She's four.) Lyla is clearly LIE-la. And very pretty too! I love it in cursive!

I know a Lila who pronounces it as LEE-la, so I think that influences my vote.

My puppy is named Lila - I was too impatient to wait to name a future LO that. @swedishfish: that's where I got the name! Ha! I've loved that name forever. swedishfish on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805832 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:23:53 +0000 swedishfish 805832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @TheSwissWifeStyle: thanks, my useless knowledge comes in handy sometimes :-) @Foodnerd81: Sweet Valley High was awesome!

I would absolutely pronounce any of them the same way you wat it (LIE-la). But I would need it spelled for me if I was writing it down just from hearing it. I know a Lyla and Leila, both pronounced the same. heffalump on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805160 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:15:49 +0000 heffalump 805160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lila.

Provably Lilah! I like it! TheSwissWifeStyle on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805108 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:08:16 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 805108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Is it weird that I'm thinking Liala? Of the 3 choices, I like Lilah.

I like Lilah (voted Lyla) better! allison on "How would you spell this name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-spell-this-name-1#post-805076 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:00:05 +0000 allison 805076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Lovejoy: I do agree that the "i" looks prettier than the "y", but I'd probably mispronounce Lila. So I voted for Lyla.

I think that is the best spelling. It looks the prettiest and I totally think people would pronounce the name correctly.

My first thought when I see Lila is to pronounce it like Lee-luh.

But I can appreciate that at least we won't go wrong whichever one we choose. I'm just so torn with it being pretty versus how it will be pronounced. I'm nervous with Lila it could be pronounced like Lilla... Our last name is already mispronounced in a similar way so I'd feel bad if she got it with both names : / ... but Lila and Lilah are "prettier" in my opinion... And thank you for all the nice comments on it! :) We haven't shared it with anyone yet, so I'm glad to hear you guys like it!
