Help[Opinions] Re: Laila
in reply to a message by Perrine
I live in the US.
My little sister's name is Laila.
She pronounces hers as LAY-lah. (I tried to get them to spell it Layla before she was born, but that's another story.)
She has never had anyone (to my knowledge) mispronounce her name as LYE-lah so with that reasoning I'm imagining a child who does have their name pronounced LYE-lah would have to correct people constantly.
Now, that being said, I do pronounce Leila the same as Lyla / Lila, but I could easily understand if someone pronounced it the same as Layla.
I like the sound of Lila / Lyla, but I wouldn't spell it Laila because I don't think it would be worth the hassle of constantly correcting people.
