What do you guys think of the name Leila.
- Do you like it better as Leila or Layla
- any ideas for a middle name for it?

I like it, and I like it better as Leila, but my great-great-aunt's name is Leila, so I might be biased. Everyone calls her Lee. As far as middle names go, pretty much anything works with it, as long as it doesn't rhyme (like Leila Kayla or something).

Layla Sariah

Marie and Jean are great middle names. I like them esp. since my middle name is Marie and Jean is my grandmother who i am very close with

thanks for the suggestions

Jean is the middle name of my maternal grandmother, my mother, myself, and when I have a daughter... I think her name will be Amelia Jean, but definately carry the middle name. :) It is fun to be part of something that has been going for generations now. Glad you like it!

Amelia is another one of my favorites! hehe

yeah i def plan on using Jean as a middle name at some point. That so nice that you plan on carrying down the name. My grandma was the first to be named Jean in the family but maybe I'll start the tradition hehe

Marie is my middle name, as well, and Jean is my grandmother.

That's probably not that uncommon, but still. Yeah.

They seem like two different names to me Lee-la and Lay-la. I prefer Layla. It is so pretty!

Layla Ilana
Layla Jasmine
Layla Jane
Layla Kate
Layla Marianna

I actually used to know someone named Leila (one of my classmates back in highschool) and she pronounced it Lay-lah even though it was spelt Leila. Thats where I got the spelling from actually

thanks for the suggestions

<3 Eric Clapton.

I adore the name Leila. I was just thinking tonight how much I love it because one of my Sims characters is Leila. My favorite combo for Leila is Leila Morgan.

[americandiva.livejournal.com]

lol thats so funny. i always liked the name but i decided to post it when I was playing the SIMS and one of them (not my character but still) was named Leila haha

I love it- it has a great song to go with it, it's a classic name, and it has a mythological (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_and_Majnun) story to go along with it. I like the spelling Laila as well, but I'd probably just go along with the Layla spelling if I ever use it since it seems to be the most familar one.

Layla Abigail
Layla Ashley
Layla Cherie
Layla Elise
Layla Morgan
Layla Olive

Oo Laila is nice too.

so many options haha

thanks for the sugguestions

[politicking.livejournal.com]

i like either way, & i love the name in general lol. i've heard it pronounced Lay-la, Lee-la & Lie-la when spelled Leila. so it's all on how you want to say it, really.

it depends on the middle & last names as to how i'd spell it...

Layla Nicole / Leila Nicole
Layla Lynn
Leila Elise

i prefer Leila; it looks like the name of someone really sweet. as for middle names...Leila Anne?

[tulips-and-lace.livejournal.com]

I prefer Leila.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

But the Oasis song is "Lyla". And I love the name Lila too but my fiance doesn't like it cos it reminds him Oasis.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

Hate it. Leila is better.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I love the name. I actually like both spellings. I think I prefer Layla just a little, but I hate Eric Clapton so much, it almost turns me back to Leila.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like it spelled Leila or Laila (I know a little girl named Laila).
