I voted LAY-lah for the Leila spelling. It makes the most sense to me. Lei is Lay, a Hawaiian flower necklace. La is La. Lela would be LEE-la to me and Lila would be pronounced LIE-la . Easy!
I know 5 people with this spelling and all of them are pronounced Lie-luh.

This Southern girl says Lay-luh! {think::Eric Clapton}
I lay-LOVE this name! :-)
I actually know an older lady with the name.. It's pronounced Lee- eye- Luh
HTH,

I also have a close friend named Sheila. I never thought of pronouncing it different then Lee-lah until I talked to someone after I had written them a messgae with the name and they said they had pronounced it Lay-lah.
I always thought Lay-lah was spelled Layla. I thoughts thats how Eric Clapton spelled Layla in the song as well but I could be mistaken.
Now I joke with my friend and call her Shayla....haha.
