Comment left Sep 20, 2008: "My very first niece was born yesterday, and her name is Lila Grace after my grandmothers. It couldn't be more perfect! (pronounced Lie-lah)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 17, 2008: "I've been thinking of having a baby girl for ages and always thought I would name it Maria or Carolina after my mother. Then I fell in love with Marilia and thought I wouldn't change it ever but it seemed a very long name too. When thinking of a short name for it I came up with Lila, which I had never heard or met anyone with this name before.It's really uncommon in my country, portugal and it is pronounced (LEE-LA) and it just warms my heart and I think it has great personality although almost nobody likes it here. But Lila will be and after reading your comments I have no doubts how special this name is.cheers!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 06, 2008: "My name is Lila and I pronounce it Lie-la. I love my name! I prefer my pronunciation but do get called lee-lah or lill-ah (like lily)the most, it's ok, I just kindly correct them. Also it does get misspelled but, I don't care. EVERYONE loves my name too. Growing up and shopping with my mom the cashiers would dramatically gasp and say "What a BEAUTIFUL name"! It always made me feel extra special. I've also had others that know me name their children "Lila". Probably cause I'm sooo great. lol, grin. Please use it and love your child. That's what will make them love their name anyway."

Comment left Jun 04, 2008: "I just came upon this name and thrilled I did. I have been looking endlessly for a name for my baby girl due this summer. I wanted a name that is not trendy or overused but with some antique charm and I think this is it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 22, 2008: "I named my baby (born April 6,2008) Lila. I get so many compliments on her name! We have a very complicated last name, so we wanted her first name to be simple. We soon found out that, though it seemed simple to us, people sometimes pronounce it Lil-a (like Lilly) or Lee-la. It took my husband and I over 24 hours past when she was born to decide on her name, so I hope she likes it as she grows up regardless of the mispronunciations!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 14, 2008: "My daughter is one, and her name is Lila. I love it because it is simple yet elegant. Everyone comments on what a beautiful name it is." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 13, 2008: "we named our 16 month old Lyla (pronounced Lie-la) and couldn't be happier with the name. People do frequently mispronounce it as Lay-la which I don't quite understand because there is no "e" or "a" before the y." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 22, 2008: "My name is Lila (Lee-la). My dad named me after Leila Khaled, the Palestinian activist. Although there are only four letters in Lila, it's always mispronouned. I get called either Lie-la, or Lil-a even my own gramma calls me Layla. I love my name however you prounounce it cos it's short and sweet and has soo many different meanings in many languages."

Comment left Mar 08, 2008: "We chose Lila (Lie-lah) for our daughter's name 16 months ago and I can't imagine a more perfect and lovely name. I have met one other woman named Lila, mid-forties, who was surprised to hear that it was my daughter's name too.
Most people who ask what her name is just love it, and haven't even heard of it before." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 28, 2008: "I was born in 1964 and my parents named me Lila after my maternal grandmother, who turned out to be not that nice. I would like the name better if I had been named after someone I liked more. Lila is often mispronounced, so that is helpful when screening phone calls. I guess I don't mind it. It is nice having an uncommon name. It was easy to learn to write, too." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 26, 2008: "Hi my name is Lila (pronounced LYE-lah). People almost always pronounce my name wrong, (lil-ah, lil-ee, etc), and alot of the time it is spelled incorrectly (lilah, lyelah, and lots of other variations). I haven't met many people with the same name as I have, but there have been a few. I met an older woman (I'd guess around 50) in a clothing store one time, and my bus driver in elementary school knew someone named Lila, and I think that's it. I like my name and I am glad that my parents named me Lila. :]" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 22, 2007: "I love this name, suggesting a dark beauty.
It means night in Hebrew, pronounced lie-la. The Arabic Leila, also meaning night, is pronounced lay-la." (Report as inappropriate)
