Hi, I'm due in April, just wondered your opinions on these names,
also going to use May as middle name as is was my Nana's name so has a special meaning. Thanks x

Laila.

I really dislike Isla, largely due to it's popularity.

I like Laila best. Think it's less common and suits an adult just as well as a child. It's not too defining either.

I don't think it's one of those names where you think instantly think posh/middle class/not so posh/rough as fuck.

Laila is beautiful

Oh I love the name Isla. Wanted this name for dd but DH isn't keen :( could even use Ayla

I prefer Leila to Laila tbh

But agree on Laila being better than Isla due to how popular Isla is now!

Laila. It's a pretty name and I don't know any little Lailas. Isla has recently become very popular.
