Hi all

Think I'm finally whittling down names, I love Layla Evelyn Grace

But is Sophia Evelyn Grace better? I don't like shortening to 'Soph' though.

Cousins DD called Layla too, so wondered about amending Layla to Mayla instead (love M names) anyone heard of? Could I have your opinions on?

DH will prob veto anyway.....

TIA! :)

I'm biased with Layla but it is gorgeous.

I like Sophia. I have a name that can be shortened and until I decided to do it myself as a teenager everyone always used my full name. So if you only ever use Sophia then everyone else will.
