Help[Opinions] Re: Lilla
in reply to a message by Pie
There was a character in the Sweet Valley High books named Lila Fowler, but despite being only one letter different the names are apparently unrelated according to BtN. As a young teen reading the books, I always assumed Lila was related to Lily, but apparently that's not true either.
I guess I don't really like Lilla, especially if BtN is correct about the pronunciation: LEEL-law. Though, if BtN's listed pronunciation is correct, I suppose I've been pronouncing Lila wrong (LEE-lə) all these years as well. :/
Lilla also feels quite nickname-y, which I suppose is logical, considering its origins.
I could get behind Lillian / Lilian nn Lila easily enough, but I'm just not feeling Lilla unless it's a nn and pronounced LEE-lə.
