Like it. Not sure if I prefer Kaela though.

I have a lovely cousin named Kayla, so I like it. The association is a positive one for me, and it fits in with a lot of the other "popular" names at the moment without being popular itself.

I like it but I suspect most of Mumsnet won't. There's some weird anti K thing!

Don't like it at all.

Sounds like one of those new, made-up names and common.

Sorry.

I knew a lovely Kayla, the pretty name suited her. I think it was short for michaela.

I like it. It isn't a made up name, and is popular in New Zealand. A friend there had a Kayla. So a positive association for me to

I like it. People may assume it's short for Michaela, which I also quite like.

Really like it, to me it is one of those 'everyone knows it but it's not overused' names, which is the holy grail IMO. I know 2 Kaylas, one 1 year old and one 20-something. I remember meeting the older Kayla (when we were both kids) and thinking it was an unusual name and must be short for Michaela. But I've found that a recurring theme in my life - names I thought were offbeat as a kid have ended up on my shortlists for my own babies and DS even has one of them Grin

Very American (to me) and a bit made up.
