Is Lila hard to pronounce? (Lie-la)

my girl is Lyla lol, said the same, and it’s defo not hard lol unless ur mum has got some kind of speech impediment then she’s surely having you on lol

Is she from another country? Its a super cute name and pretty easy to say. Maybe she is doing it on purpose to piss you off

I dont think its hard to pronounce but there may be confusion on how to pronounce it the first time i.e people may not know if it's Lee-la or lie-la

Make her listen to Oasis - Lyla on repeat, I’m sure she will get the hang of it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Your MIL sounds very difficult, what a bizarre thing to say!!

My girl is Lilah and haven’t had any issues with pronunciation

When she actually attempts to say the name, does it even sound correct, just slightly exaggerated? Or is she attempting to say a whole different name?

I’ll hazard a guess that since she’s your MIL she probably never liked the name you chose, and this is her way of getting back at you and showing you her displeasure and also lack of control over you and the situation, by pretending to be a dunce and making out you named your child Tchaikovsky or something.

In aus it's Leela

Nope it’s very simple!
I had the same issue - my daughter is Maya (My—ah) and my MIL always use to say “May- ah” and it drove me insane!

It depends because my daughter is bella but my mil sometimes struggle to pronounce it but that is because her 1st language is Portuguese and not english so it could be a mixture of anything my birth name is roberta and when people ask me they still will say Rebecca and I gotta pronounce it a different way for them to understand

I knew it was Lie-la when I read it 🤷‍♀️ luckily most people say their name when they introduce themselves to people so it won’t be a problem.

I had a great grandmother that couldn’t pronounce Melissa and would come out with malicious. As irritating as it is I’m sure she doesn’t mean any harm.

Is her native language something other than English? If so I can possibly understand. If not, then she's being a passive aggressive **** if you ask me.

Not at all. She probably doesn’t like the name.

Can grandparents just keep their 2 cents in their pocket 🤔lila is gorgeous . In Swedish we spell it Laila !! Love the name . Go for what you love it’s your baby

Based on your post and comments, it definitely sounds like she doesn't like you and will do anything to remind you. I'm so sorry hun. 😞 I hate that some in-laws are horrible people.

I forgot to add, I'm not above permanently cutting out toxic family members, so something to consider. Where does your partner stand in this? Surely he's gotta be angry at her for her treating you this way and being so cold and aloof towards his daughter. She didn't "forget" her birthday. She's just taking her dislike towards you out on her granddaughter.

So passive aggressive
