Lila, Lilah or Lyla

[Eliot]

I'm having major trouble with the spelling for my little girls name, she's due in August but it's doing my head in constantly thinking about this! I keep thinking I've made up my mind but then I change it again.

Lila
Lilah
Lyla

Her middle name will be Kate.

Please please please help me decide which spelling is the best :)

[AmberMama]

Gorgeous name! I like Lila :)

[babycart]

Lila

[London]

Lilah

[bellalika]

Lilha. I friend was Lihla so that is the most similar spelling.

That said, I think Lila is probably the more conventional spelling so people won't have to double glance as often when they read it.

Lilah :goodvibes:
It's my DD's middle name- rather annoyed now that I used it as I really, really like it!

[lilpop]

I really like all 3 but she may have a lifetime of correcting people on the 1 with a "h".

[Tam-I-Am]

Lila :) Beautiful name.

[Dragon Fly]

Lilah :)

[Girl X]

Lila. But I nearly always prefer the traditional spellings :)

[jaxdonn]

Lilah

Maybe bc I am from Canada, but when I see Lila, I would say "Leela" instead of "Liela".

Lila. Its a gorgeous classical name and I think the traditional spelling looks the best. IMO putting an H on the end is unneccesary and looks like its put there just to make it "unique". It doesnt change the pronounciation in any way (although I note the comment by Jaxdonn).

Lyla reminds me of Lyle which of think of as an old mans name.

[willowwillow]

i like Lyla.. its different and eccentric..

[crazykids]

This is our daughter's name and we spell it Lylah, a little bit different, but we love it :)

[SuperGranny]

hi , lyla, I would tend to pronouce layla. Lila, I would pronouce Lila, Lilah doesnt change the pronounciation for me, still Lila. my preference would be Lila. Marie.

[stillwaiting]

I like Lilah... its one of the names on my list!

[jetsmummy]

Another vote for Lila - on my list also - sounds like it's getting popular!:)

[Travdan]

Lilah looks great!

[missie_mack]

I like Lyla. It is a really common irish nickname for someone whose real name is Elizabeth :yes:

[Bambibambino]

Lilah :goodvibes:

Lila to me could be pronounced leela or Liela

[lulululu]

Lila. Simple. Pretty. Love it

[Cicho]

I went to school with a girl who's spelling was Lylia. I loved it!

[Eliot]

Thanks everyone, I'm still confused but i've taken the Lyla off my list. One down, one to go!

[Lilahh]

Lilah ;)))
