Lila could be spelled either way, and I only changed it back to Lila instead of Laila because I had noticed it being Lila for some time and that's what the character page says so it was only changed on this page which could be confusing. I do think Lila makes more sense (Lila-->lily, Clovis-->clover) but it was literally to avoid confusion. If someone overhauls it and the character page, Laila works just as well I think.

"Oiaguro" is Oiagros because his name is a reference to one of the possible fathers of the mythical Orpheus. I believe the "s" is silent, and it's not uncommon for Japanese to have an added vowel due to how the language works. Japanese has only "n" as a singular consonant so even loanwords and names that have consonants next to each other or at the end would have a vowel.

Imperial family examples, Rurushiyu/Rurushu-->Lelouch Shiyaruru/Sharuru-->Charles Shiyunaizuru/Shunaizuru--> Schneizel Mariberu-->Marrybell Odeyushiyusu--> Odysseus Kurovuisu/Kurovisu-->Clovis

And his niece and nephew even.

Orudorin-->Oldrin

Orufuiusu-->Orpheus

"guro" can easily be how they can best write "gro".

Marrybell's sister's name is written ユーリア which would be directly romanized to Yuria, not Julia, (just look at the show's title, that first character is in Lelouch's name too, does he have a j anywhere? that kana is "yu", and I have never heard Julia pronounce "yu-lee-ya" just "ju-lee-ya") and Orpheus' lover is written エウリア which would be Iuria. They are pronounced essentially the same and implied to be the same character, and Orpheus' lover has a gravestone in the manga that has her name written 'Euliya'.

It's not just what it is believed to be for anyone but Lila. It's just what it is. Previous spellings were assumptions because in Oiagros' case not everyone digs into Greek mythology and Greek Oiagros isn't particularly well known, and for Euliya most people don't read into OZ far enough to even meet her, let alone see her grave, because there's no available translation.
