[Opinions] Re: Lilah
in reply to a message by Petra
Lilah is a Muslim name? Didn't know that. Wouldn't that be Layla or Leila - pronounced LY-la? Lila is a Hindi name and pronounced LEE-la, originally.
I love Lila, pronounced LEE-la. I like Leila pronounced LY-la and Layla pronounced LAY-la.
Lilah looks wrong to me but it's alright. And I would pronounce it LY-la whereas I would pronounce Lila as LEE-la so it's probably an ok spelling. I think if I wanted her pronunciation the clearest way would be Lyla.
Personally I think there are way too many similar sounding names around: Layla, Leila, Laila, Lila, Lilah, Lyla, Lylah and the name is pretty common.
I prefer Lyra.
