WDYT of Layla?

BabyBurns

how would you spell it? I have a Leila in my class, but I've always seen it spelled Layla. Which spelling do you like and what would be a good mn?

I like it and like it spelled Layla.

I don't like it at all.. but if you must Leila..

I know a little girl named Layla. She is adorable. Love the name!

LMS05

Meh. It's alright. Layla is becoming very popular along with Lily and Lila(h). Layla is the best spelling.

minnasmommy

pretty but all I can think of is Eric Clapton singing that song.

I love the name-it was in a  book I once read and I loved it. I like both spellings, but I think I prefer Leila

PhilsWife07

I prefer the Layla spelling. Leila looks Hawaiian to me, and, on first glance, I'd pronounce it "Lee-la."

As for the name, it's pretty, but all I think when I hear it is "Got me on my knees, Layla."

Makes me think of Friday Night Lights.  I like it, and I prefer the Layla spelling.

I like Layla or Laila, but Leila reminds me of Leela from Futurama

LOVE it, one of my fav girls names. I like the spelling Layla. Your daughter is gorgeous by the way!

Love Layla.  We were thinking about it for dd but changed our minds towards the end.

I wanted to spell it Leila but dh thought it would be easier as Layla.

I think either Leyla or Layla is fine.

I think it's very pretty. Both spellings are fine, but I prefer Leila.

I pronounce Leila as "Lee-La" (one of my good friends)

it is definitely nms, but it's not bad (I just hate that song). I'd spell it Layla.

I love the original song not the live version, it was our recessional at our wedding (the piano part at the end). ANYWAY, I like it and please spell it Layla!!!

Summer20

love it, but prefer the Leila spelling

Soon2BMrsN

I like it, but wouldn't use it.  Makes me think of the Eric Clapton song.

I love it and prefer the Layla spelling.

My friend's daughter has that name.. except they spell it Lailah.  I love that spelling.... Lailah.. so pretty!

MrsEricH

DH and I both like it, but spelled Laila.  We took it off our list when a friend said she thought it sounded like a stripper name.

Layla is my favorite girl name of all time. Problem is I used it 8 years ago on my dog )=

If I hadnt I would name my daughter that in a heartbeat!

aldyn

I prefer spelling it Layla if you go with that name.  I do think of the song...

I grew up with a Leilani pronounced (lay-lah-nee) and I always thought that was a pretty name.

Layla.

And, I LOVE it!  It was one of our top contenders until we decided to do all Irish names!  Sooooo pretty!
