For some reason I have a name in my head pronounced "lil-uh" not "lye-luh."   Am I making this name up, or is it actually a name?  Regardless, how would you spell it?  

Thanks :)

Also, I met an 11 year old girl recently named Hollyn (Hall-in).   wdyt?

Hollin's an old name for the Holly tree, and Tolkien used it in LOTR as a place name. It's not awful but it does sound like a surname used as a first name, so I might avoid it personally.

Lilla is not unknown, it's a variant of Lily. It's also spelled Lillah, historically. It turns up in Anglo-Saxon, and in modern Greece and Italy.

I like it spelled Lillah I think.
