I would name my daughter Layla Raine
(Raine being the middle name. Layla could also be spelt Laila)

What do you guys think?

I also really like the name Pacey for a boy... by than Dawson's creek will be done and over with lol.

I really don't like the name Layla. To me, it sounds like the name of a foreign prostitute. Plus it's uber trendy. And it's SO adult sounding, so for 18 years this baby is going to have this really elegent flowy name, and she'll probably be a tom-boy hellion or something. I think it's important to have a name that can apply to any aspect of a person's personality, so that when the person grows up, it can feel connected with its name.

So, how would one predict whether or not the child will be girly-prissy or a tomboy? I'm just curious.

You can't, obviously, predict, although if you're that type of evil, you can try to push one way or the other on a child. But you can help by not naming a girl something that doesn't atleast have a nickname that she might like, if she doens't turn out to be the "Layla" type. Like girls named Samantha can be Sam, or Madeline can be Maddy, Sofia can be Sof, Layla can't be Lay? Its just one of those names I think leaves a child no room to be herself.
