We're pretty well set on the name Kayla, but are less certain on the spelling. We were originally planning on spelling "Caila" but quickly discovered it would be forever mispronounced.
Question is - is "Kaila" any more self-explanatory to pronounce? Would you pronounce it as "Kayla"?
For some reason I find the spelling to be much prettier with an "i" than a "y", but don't want our daughter to be stuck with having her name mispronounced her whole life!

Kayla = Kay-la
Kaila = Ky-la

I agree. Kaila is pronounced Ky-luh. Kayla is fine the way it is.
Thanks to all for your feedback! I'm going with Kayla... now I just have to sell my husband on it! I think trying to decide on a name has been the biggest challenge of being pregnant to date!
