This isn't for me. It's for a friend who's expecting a little girl in a few months. Feel free to offer your comments or other suggestions!
Her MIL's name is Lilian, but she's tired of all the little Lily/Lili/Lilly/Lillie varieties running around. And, she thinks that two Lilians would be confusing, because they see her MIL a lot. So, since she likes the name Lila, she thought it may be a good compromise. I really like it, but I wanted to see what you ladies thought.
By the way, this is the original pronunciation of Lila, with a long I, as in "ride". Not a short I as in "little".
I'm with Liz -- I'd just name her Lila.
