How Lila sounds
A two-syllable name, Lila has a steady beat that sits well with a one- or two-syllable surname. Lila closes on an open sound, which gives it a light and welcoming ending. Lila flows, with liquid consonants and a rolling rhythm that this scheme counts as water. Lila is neither trendy nor rare in U.S. birth records, which makes it a settled, comfortable choice. Most people named Lila in U.S. birth records are girls.
The Saju view
Because Lila begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Lila is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Lila supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Lila would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Lila sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Lila as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
