    Oh, I see That is very true! Were you pronouncing Leila/Laila like "lie-luh"? If you were then I think Layla (or however you spell it) pronounced lay-luh could be a nickname for Madelaina if you think of the "lai" part??

    Oh, yeah, lol, I've always said Leila/Laila/Layla the same--LAY-lah. I've never heard Leila as LIE-lah, that's always been Lila(h)/Lyla to me. Was it LIE-lah or LAY-lah that you liked?

    I babysat a girl named Leila pronounced LIE-lah, and ever since then I get confused about how to pronounce it! But I'm sure it should be LAY-lah I love both names, but I think LAY-lah would be the only one that would make sense in this situation.
