Is Leila too popular?

Husbands top choice

I quite like Nina. Leila is lovely but it needs to be pronounced Lee-la and would hate for people to mispronounce it Lay-la

@ReginaaPhalange fingers crossed you get your Layla soon

I also love the name Layla. But I would spell it that way too.

Husband steadfast on Leila specifically rather than it being pronounced the Layla version

If I'm lucky enough to conceive, and say I had a girl, I'd call her Layla as I love it.

I pronounce Leila the same way the OP does, so the Layla pronunciation isn't inevitable. I prefer it to Nina.

JollyGiraffe12 · 25/09/2020 22:44

I would pronounce is Lee-la but I prefer Nina

Neolara · 25/09/2020 22:43

Nina! Not Mins.

Neolara · 25/09/2020 22:43

I know 2 Leilas. I like it. I also like Mins.

BeMorePacific · 25/09/2020 22:42

I would pronounce it Lay-la

Fannybawz · 25/09/2020 22:41

It IS pronounced Leila though! Maybe change the spelling?

Nina’s nice... I was thinking the other day what a great name it is
