Lila vs. Too close to Lisa vs. Completely different

I think I want to use this name, but my name is Lisa. Lila is only one letter off and pronounced "Lie-luh". This concerns me and I wonder if I should just pick a different name at this point.

The Top Baby Name is...

Lila

38%

Too close to Lisa

25%

Completely different

38%

I do think they are a little too close. But if you absolutely love Lila without a doubt, I would go for it.

I think for siblings they would be too close but as her parent you will be called Mommy most of the time :) Shouldn’t be a big deal. If you love it go for it! You can also spell it Lilah which I think is prettier and will make it an extra letter at least. May I also suggest Lily? Very pretty and similar sound to Lila but has a completely different ending. GL!

My husband likes it with an "h", but I don’t like that it’s closer to Delilah that way. :( Delilah is pretty, but I don’t like the biblical connotation.

How about spelling it Lyla to further differentiate it from Lisa?

It may be one letter off, but the pronunciation is way different. I think it would be fine.
