Middle name ideas for Lyla please?

38 replies

Due our baby girl in June. We've chosen to name her Lyla. We have 2 possibilities of middle names these being Iris or Sylvia but was looking at other ideas. Definitely not May, Grace or Rose.
Any other ideas welcome thanks in advance.

I straight away thought Grace but then realised it's because Kate Moss'daughter is called Lyla Grace.
I like Penelope.

My bad - @missmouse101 I consider myself put in my place 🙄

Oops it's Lyra that's a constellation, not Lyla Blush

mamma2016 · 07/04/2019 09:03

Lyla is a constellation so Lyla Celeste would be nice.

Lyla Rowan
Lyla Juliet
Lyla Emily
Lyla Pearl

Love some of these suggestions thank you.
I'm not saying I don't like the names grace and Rose just that they are overused.
Bit like when I was at school and everybody's middle name was Louise or Marie

@moondancer73 , read the OP. Hmm

Moondancer73 · 05/04/2019 21:36

Rose

Badbilly · 05/04/2019 21:34

Rowena.

missmouse101 · 05/04/2019 21:25

Lyla Fern? Lyla Josephine? Lyla Tamsyn?

Lobsterquadrille2 · 05/04/2019 21:21

I agree with PPs who suggested Lyla Elizabeth, particularly with a one syllable surname - it balances well.

Jaz32 · 05/04/2019 21:03

Lyla Elizabeth? Victoria? Alice? Sophia? Isabel/Isabella? Something traditional to balance the more unusual Lyla x

triptrapdollydumpling · 05/04/2019 20:59

Oops!

triptrapdollydumpling · 05/04/2019 20:59

Lyla Grace

BendydickCuminsnatch · 05/04/2019 20:44

My first thought on reading the title was Lyla June. And she’s due in June! Perfect.

Aquamarine1029 · 05/04/2019 20:43

Lyla Skye

Thesearmsofmine · 05/04/2019 20:40

Lyla Jay
Lyla Sue
Lyla Blue

polarpig · 05/04/2019 20:24

I was going to say Grace but I see you don't like it.
Lyla Jane?

Flobochin · 03/04/2019 19:31

Amalita

Hobbes39 · 14/03/2019 18:49

I think anything with 3/4 syllables will flow nicely if you have a one syllable surname - I really like the suggestion above of Lyla Elizabeth

Thanks for all your suggestions. We have a one syllable surname so does that help?

Lyla Faye is a lovely combination, as suggested up-thread.

Lyla Francesca
Lyla Sophia
