Have always loved Eva/Evie, but it's too popular for me now. Was thinking of Leila, or would she still be 1 of 5 in the class?

on of my best friends has a Leila, she is nearly 8 and the only one i know of, so doubt she would be 1 of 5 in the class. I think it's a lovely name

My gorgeous goddaughter (aged 22) - she is beautiful and French/Algerian......
I vaguely know a little girl called Layla which is nice but I still much prefer the spelling Leila which I think is very unusual in the UK

There are two in my dd's nursery class, though spelt in different ways I think. It's a lovely name.

My ds (6) also has a Leila in his class and my dd has one in her preschool, so I know 3 under 7 years of age and 2 Leila's who are over 60. I think it is a name that is getting more common as where we live in the south east, I hear it called our a fair bit in parks etc..

One, 5yo, in my ds's year at school. Lovely name .
I know one but she does get fed up of saying no it's not Layla it's Leila know one with first spelling but she only one I know with the proper spelling

There is two in my street. only 24 houses... I also know of another one in my daughters year in school (reception). And one in the juniors. Think it is popular on our estate.
