I heard a new girl name at a party yesterday. WDYT?

It's Bayla. (I'm assuming that's how it is spelled)  they call her Bay as a nn. 

I think it's pretty and really unique.  

BrideBuddies

Were people drinking at this party?

I think it's a bad version of a very overused Kayla.

Pass.

it's actually an Old name. not made up. I personally wouldn't use it, but I think it's pretty!

Meaning: Its source is an Old English expression meaning "A bailiff or administrative officer."

Narrative: This name may have originated as a local name for someone who lived near a ''bailey'' (a city fortification). Or it might derive from beg leah, meaning wood clearing.

It's not my favorite, but there are far worse names out there!

i plan to name my first daughter bay but i think bayla sounds tacky. i guess because it reminds me, like pp said, of all the kayla/ cayla/ etc. names. i don't like names that sound trendy.

It just sounds made up to me.  I know it isn't, but it really sounds made up.

Didn't one of the kids in the Ya-Ya Sisterhood book/movie have that name?

I think that's a boy  named Baylor, but close!

Bayla is NMS.

Bay is kind of cute as a nickname but I despise Bayla.

Definitely NMS.

I don't like it at all, but I've heard far worse.

It sounds made up.

I know a baby Bayla. Its NMS but not bad. Bay however...I don't like that at all. Reminds me of a bay leaf used for cooking.

I've heard this name a few times called out in the park (I know that probably sounds random). I actually don't mind it. It's nms, but I think it's cute.

Not really my style.
