I would say Leela over Lila because in English-speaking countries, most people are going to pronounce Lila as LY-la. I don't get futurama from it at all. I had a babysitter named Lela, pronounced the same way, who was from India. I always think about her when I hear the name, and actually, I prefer Lela to Leela.

I never thought about Lela. It's nice too but I still prefer Leela. I think it depends on where you are. In England and Australia most people would say LEE-la (Lila) I believe. I think it's also how Kate Moss pronounces her daughter's name but I'm not sure.
