Baby girl is here, I feel like she's a Charlotte. Although we had decided on Layla/Leila!

Do you prefer Layla/Leila or Charlotte?

Thanks

Charlotte is DD's middle name and I sort of wish I'd saved it for if we have DD2. I love it.

Ps I spelt it Leila as that's how my friend did, but I think Layla looks equally as pretty

Absolutely love Charlotte, it was on our list had dc3 been a girl. (He was born 6 months before princess C but we would still have used it. I like to think Kate was keeping up with the daisies...) Both beautiful names though and would go well together with either combination of first / middle name.

However, I went to school with a Leila and she's the only one I've ever known, so if popularity is an issue then go with Leila.

Charlotte - biased though as it's DDs middle name.

Charlotte is beautiful and timeless. I know it's high in the baby names list but I don't know a baby Charlotte (and I go to lots of baby groups).

I really like Charlotte in that it's a classic traditional name but not a boring one.

But I also like Layla a lot and always have done, thanks to Eric Clapton. It's a lovely name.

I like Charlotte, but it is very popular.

I also like Layla. I prefer this spelling because it's the way its spelt in the song by Derek and the Dominos/Eric Clapton.

I'd choose Layla purely because of the popularity of Charlotte.
