WDYT of Jaela?

LittleMissParis · February 2010

My gf just had a dd and named her Jaela and I thought it was cute. I haven't seen it on here and thought it was cute and might give someone a name option...

Is it pronounced like Jay-la? I went to college with a Jayla.

ames71 · February 2010

There was a girl on ANTM a few seasons ago named Jayla. Is it pronounced the same way? It's unusual without being wacky... I think it's pretty.

?A friend of the family just named her newborn Jayla. It's NMS, but I think it's pretty.

LittleMissParis · February 2010

Yup, they pronounce it just like Jayla. I don't think they had a reason for spelling it with and e. Must have just liked it.

Tiff B. · February 2010

That I wouldn't know how to pronounce it by just looking at the name ... "Hi-ella" or "Jay-la" or "Hi-la?"

KoalaBear103 · February 2010

NMS but not a bad name.

ToBeMrsT · February 2010

I wouldn't ever use it, but it's not bad.

ericaandsy · February 2010

Love love love it! A friend of mine named her baby Jayla otherwise that would be our girl name!

I think Jaela would be great if you're planning to raise your child in a sci-fi novel.

Because it sounds like a character in a sci-fi novel.

No. It sounds made-up.

I never would have thought of that. It just sounds like Kayla with a "J" to me.

BizEB · February 2010

NMS at all.

IrishBrideND · February 2010

sounds made up

FemmeNat01 · February 2010

It is made up. It's a mix of Jada and Kayla.

I would never use it but it's not horrible. Spell it Jayla, if you must, though.

another made up name

loveyoubean · February 2010

All I can think of is "jail bait." HUGE no on this one...

sunnyday016 · February 2010

Not a fan at all. Especially that spelling. It just looks ugly to me.

jastl32 · February 2010

Considering I have no idea how to prounounce it, I'm not a fan. Sorry!

Lambie. · February 2010

Not a fan but I wouldn't judge.

wildfloweragain · February 2010

I like it.

This. I am a Spanish speaker who lives in a predominantly Spanish-speaking neighborhood in NY. I would automatically assume the "h" sound before anything else.

LMS05 · February 2010

I don't like it at all.

LiLnikkiMe · February 2010

i like the name but hate the way its spelled.

streamtrax41 · February 2010

I like the name, I think it's cute.

Thanks for posting it, considering you were only doing so to give people the option. But if you were ever considering naming your child the same name as your gf's DD, now you have plenty of advice about it! LOL

MSC03 · March 2010

Jayla isn't that bad, but Jaela is ridic.

I hate when people smoosh two names together to make a new one.
