Gurista ships are named after reptiles: Rattlesnake, Alligator, Mamba, Caiman, etc etc.....so the Gila is obviously named after the gila monster which is pronounced HEE-luh. Stop saying Gila with a hard G like a jackass. You're welcome.
I remember back in the day if you saw someone in local with a Japanese name, chances are it was just a regular Japanese guy playing Eve. But, nowadays, any Japanese name in local is most likely a white dude with a thing for cartoon boobies.SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!
