Curious: would you pronounce Leila as: Lay-lah Or Lie-lah I've seen it pronounced both ways with the same spelling, and have a relative named Leila and pronounced Lie-lah.
Lay-lah. At least that's how we pronounce it here (the Balkans). It's a Muslim name around here, Bosnian. But, I don't really give AF, I like the name (not Muslim BTW).
My son's name is Ilin, which is pronounced Eileen in English, and mine is Yane (written as Jane), so you could imagine setting up a date with Eileen and Jane in the US and two guys show up 😂.
