Vaila?

Heard the name Vaila recently and I really like it.

What do you think?

Middle name would be Violet as it’s a family name, but is Vaila Violet a bit of a mouthful? Surname is a 2 syllable girls name beginning with P. OH loves Grace so could be Vaila Grace instead.

Love it! DD was almost Vaila or Aila.

@IamnotwhouthinkIam that’s true, I think middle names are often over thought for how little they are used. Yes, we’re Scottish and living in Scotland so I know one or two little Vailas already but I’m not too worried about popularity - Grace is also in the running but I’d love a wee nod to something Scottish.

It is a bit of a mouthful because there are a lot of repeated letters, but I don't think it really matters - middle names are rarely used. Plus it would give her the option of cute nn Vivi!

I love Vaila btw, but I think it is really unusual outside Scotland so I'd probably assume some Scottish heritage if that matters? I like the similar Greek name Vaia too.

I quite like it, she could be Veve for a nn.

Beautiful name, I'd go with grace to avoid the double V - it doesn't quite sound right to me
