Leila is a variant of Layla meaning night in Arabic. Layla is the more popular variant which ranks in the top 50 in Australia, England and the US while Leila sits in the top 250 instead most likely because their isn’t one go to pronunciation, to most it would be lee-lah but it can also be said Lay-lah and lye-lah, while I like all pronunciations lee-lah is my favourite.
Since it ranks so much lower then Layla, Leila seems like a perfect compromise if you are willing to handle the pronunciation issues.
