Really don't like Kayla. Grace is much nicer.

GenerationYmember · 08/04/2017 06:36

Kayla! A lovely name.

Grace has been done to death.

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/04/2017 03:20

I don't really like either. But the problem with Kayla is that I seem to know an endless number of Kylie, Kaela, Kayla, Kaeley, Kaylee type named people. All lovely BTW and not 'chav's Hmm.

And Grace is a little lumpen to my ear. No idea why because it's a perfectly nice name.

I have a friend called Kayla, she's a lovely person so the name has good associations for me. Grace is nice too but on balance, I prefer Kayla.

Kayla

imNew1985 · 07/04/2017 22:59

Names like Jayden Hayden Etc Lexi this or that Wynter etc they're chav sorry they are

imNew1985 · 07/04/2017 22:58

Also said in a particular accent as in Khayla means banana in Urdu Punjabi and Hindi

DramaAlpaca · 07/04/2017 22:43

I do wish people would stop referring to names as 'chav' or 'chavvy'. It's offensive and very snobby.

Anyway, I like Kayla, much prefer it to Grace.

I don't like the Gr.. sound in Grace, and I don't like the way it looks written down. The meaning is nice though.

SuperBeagle · 07/04/2017 22:35

Grace.

I don't like Kayla. But I do like Layla. Smile

StickyNotes · 07/04/2017 22:34

Kayla is chav??? It's a Hebrew name isn't it?

imNew1985 · 07/04/2017 22:32

Layla rather than Kayla. Soz Kayla is a bit chav.

Sophronia · 07/04/2017 22:24

Kayla. I'm bored of Grace.

anon050 · 07/04/2017 21:22

Grace.

buttercup54321 · 07/04/2017 21:02

Grace Elizabeth

GeekGoddess · 07/04/2017 20:38

I would dearly love a little girl called Grace Smile.

Kayla is nice too although less to my personal taste.

Lemondrop09 · 07/04/2017 20:36

I think they have a very different feel

Grace is a timeless classic

Kayla feels more modern

Either are pretty. I think Grace is probably a bit overdone, where as Kayla would be more unusual.

Oysterbabe · 07/04/2017 20:26

Grace.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/04/2017 20:25

Grace

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/04/2017 20:13

What is with this, lower class, chavvy, black name rubbish, disgusting !

Mustbeoriginal38 · 07/04/2017 18:07

I like both. They also sound lovely together as a first and middle name - Kayla Grace.

Itaintme · 07/04/2017 17:17

Lower class name? Get over yourself you snob.

I prefer Kayla.

Penguin27 · 07/04/2017 17:16

I know a Kayla Grace, pretty name Smile

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/04/2017 17:15

I agree Kayla Grace.

Montsti · 07/04/2017 16:52

I'm really not a fan of Kayla...sorry! Grace is much nicer...

NataliaOsipova · 07/04/2017 16:21

Grace. Definitely.
