Hi,

I am trying to figure out; how would a Polish person pronounce the name "Lila"?

In English; Lila would be: "Lie-la"

I want something in Polish that will sound like "Lie-la" how would you spell it in Polish way for "Lie-la"? so that my Polish relatives can pronounce the name as in "Lie-la" not "Lee-la"

Thanks! =)

If you write the word Lila then it would be lee-lu with the stress falling on the double 'ee' there would be no other pronunciation combination possible for this word.

Yaah, Lila in Polish can only bee LEE-lah in Polish, If you want to pronounce it like English try Lajla or maybe Laila (It should be the first, but a lot of people prefer -ai- for foreign names, I don't know why).
