Not as keen on Lola

No wouldn't spell with a y have seen it spelt Leila but that might be pronounced differently!

I think Leila can be pronounced Lay-la or Lee-la.

I prefer the spelling Leila or Layla to Laila but that's probably because its more common (i'm not aware of Laila).

I looked after a Leila (the only one I know), pronounced Lee-la and I know a Layla. Both beautiful names. And Rose is my dds middle name so its high on my "love it" list!

I don't like your spelling, but the name is o.k.

I like the name a lot but wasn't keen on the meaning, it means "night" in Arabic, but that may not be an issue for you. Also, it is very common in the Arab world - again, this may not be relevant to you.
