    Default Lila, Lilah or Lyla

    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

    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.

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

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

    Lila. But I nearly always prefer the traditional spellings
    DD 2010 and TTC#2 since early 2011 (Clomid, FSH + IUI, and IVF. M/C July 2012 at 8.5 weeks).
