Lyla in Chinese

Choosing 月宁 assumes that the night association matters to you. That can be a useful starting point for someone named through the Leila family, but it would miss a deliberate connection to Lyle. If your name commemorates a person rather than an etymology, retaining the recognizable sound in 莱拉 may be more relevant than selecting an image from either historical explanation.

An island-themed interpretation and a nighttime interpretation are alternatives, not two words that must be combined into a hidden original meaning. The Chinese moon image is another step of interpretation. Keeping those steps separate lets you explain 月宁 accurately: it is a newly chosen peaceful moon association inspired by one route to Lyla, rather than proof that every Lyla means moon.

English Lyla is commonly pronounced with the vowel of lie. Names such as Layla and Leila may look similar while being pronounced differently by their bearers. Compare your spoken introduction with Lái Lā instead of copying a relative's characters solely because the names share letters. Mandarin tones also remain part of the chosen name even though the English original has no equivalent tone marks.

The written contrast is useful when comparing the three options. 莱拉 and 莱雅 both change 莱 to 萊 in traditional characters, while 月宁 changes 宁 to 寧. None of those script changes creates a new English origin. With 莱雅, the added 雅 is the main reason for accepting a less exact ending; with 月宁, recognizability is exchanged for an entirely different spoken and visual image.
