Lelia

What do you think of the name Lelia? I came across it while doing genealogy research, and then met a Lelia at work, and I've been intrigued ever since. According to Behind the Name, it's the Italian form of the Ancient Roman Laelia, and, from what I gather, it could either be pronounced LEE-lee-a or LAY-lee-a, or perhaps even LEH-lee-a. I find it beautifully feminine, but it also kind of feels like it could become part of the next big trend, which is upsetting. Thoughts?

You misread it the way I did, as Leila. I had to look at it twice before I realized it was a different name.
