really sayla is a no???

A coworker was thinking of this name and didnt choose it and for some reason I just loved it....I dont know why...I do like unique names Sayla Katherine is just so in my head.  OR Tayte Rae....

IS it terrible

It is not terrible, but it seems as though you are trying too hard to be original. I don't like those kinds of names. I can understand not wanting to name your child something that everyone else is going to name theres, but you can't control that. If my first name was Sayla I would go by Katherine. I just don't care for it and I think it would be a name that could easily be made fun of.

My sister's name is Tanta and it is a very unique name. She hated her name all through school because people made fun of her. She has finally grown to like it, but it has taken quite a few years for that.

I don't think Sayla or Tayte are terrible. They aren't my style, but I wouldn't really think of them negatively.

I really don't like sayla or tayte. However, they are not awful names. Well, tayte for a girl kind of ranks up there with terrible, sorry.

Tayte Rae is much much worse than Shayla.  How do you pronounce that?

jenber77

Yeah, Sayla just sounds made up. 

Why are you throwing the random "y" in Tayte? If you spelled it "Tate" I would like it better.

Not a fan.. but what about Selyne.  It has the same ring to it.  Selyne Katherine I think is really nice together.

Both are terrible.

MommyMeSoon2B

Sayla is def better than Tayte.

thaira

Thank you for a suggestion and honest opinion of everyone!!! The suggestion helps rather than telling me they are terrible and made up...

Sayla Katherine and Tayte Rae are horrible names!! Tayte?! seriously? When did people start purposely changing all available vowels to y?

I'm from Boston.  A Sayla is a sailor w/ my accent.  it's really bad..

Not really a fan, but I have seen Selah (a Hebrew name meaning pause and reflect) a lot lately as a baby name.

There is always a debate about the correct pronunciation (Say-lah, Seh-lah, See-la), etc but it is a common Hebrew word found over and over in the Bible.

Ha! I was just thinking that!

Sayla's look good in uniform navigating the high seas.

I actually like Sayla and think its pretty. I don't like Tayte though, weird for a girl, weird spelling too.

My niece's name is Sayla Jane and I think it is really cute.  She is named after my SIL's grandmother, so it isn't a completely made up name.

How about the name Shyla? With the nn Shy? Sayla is too different for my taste. My FIL is from Boston, and while he would pronounce Sailor like Sayla...we would pronounce Sayla like Saylor. (An A at the end always turns into a 'r' sound.) If Tayte=Tate....I prefer Tate. GL!

sorry...i hear "tayte" and i think "taint..."

Mrs.Carlybella

not a fan at all, sorry

Mrs.Carlybella

oh-  and i really thought Tayte was cute (not the spelling, but the name).  I mentioned it to my husband and he said everyone would call the kid Taint- which apparently means the area between the balls and the butt on a man.

 

not to be a downer-  cause i think it is cute, but these are the things i would want to know

SNB2B

Oh like "tate" I thought it was pronounced "tay tay" as in "tay tay ray"

Not so good.

I like this spelling and would consider naming my child Selah, but DH knows someone with a daughter named that. I dont think it sounds made up at all....because it isnt!

I don't like "Sayla" because of two reasons:

1.  It sounds like "Sailor" without the "R"  (For some reason, Sailor wouldn't bother me as much. . .  Still nms, tho.)

2.  It looks like someone said "I kind of like Kayla,  but I want to be unique.  Let's see - Bayla, Cayla, Dayla, Fayla. . ." and went through the alphabet for a different first sound.  Kind of like what people do with -Aden names (Braden, Caden, Jaden, etc.)

Tayte just looks made up.  Maybe Tate for a boy, but not Tayte (I don't like extra letters just to be special) for a girl.
