WDYT of Avila? It’s been sitting on my Considering PNL list, mostly because I’m not positive on pronunciation. I’ve been saying a-vee-la, and I think that’s right but can’t be sure. I think it’s pretty. Thoughts?

TIA. :)

Please rate my lists. All of them are ratable except for the Main list and the Surname list. :)

I'd just be aware that Avila is a common surname in Hispanic countries, as it derives from the city of Avila, Spain, and means "from Avila." If you don't mind that, I think it's a nice name, but it is traditionally pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable: AH-vee-la.
