Help us with the spelling of the name for our baby girl...??

Question

My husband and I are set on the name but are having a lot of trouble coming to agreement on spelling. In the beginning I thought Lilah was best, but now I'm not sure...thanks for the help. Please give feedback of why you chose spelling too!

If this helps, her older sister's name is Reese Elizabeth. Brother is James Asher--goes by Asher. Last name Henley.

Answer

I'm honestly a firm believer in spelling names more of a traditional way. If you go with a funky spelling, granted it will be unique and fun and all that jazz, but it gets annoying. Trust me. My name is Taylour and my entire life, everyone has spelled my name as Taylor. I get it. It's an odd spelling and how on earth are they supposed to know I spell my name with a "u" thrown in there? But it gets SO old to constantly correct everyone. If you don't mind giving your child that burden (and yes, it really does feel like a burden the older I get), then go ahead and go with a different spelling. My vote is for Lilah though.

Answer

What about Lila?

Answer

In my opinion, it's better to go with a common spelling, so others can easily spell it  when told the name. So Lyla is the easiest spelling. But that is just my opinion. 😉. Cute name!
