Baby girl is due any day, and I still have no name for her. Thinking of Ayla, Kaylee, or Ella. Any insight would be appreciated!😘

Ella is my fave out of those 3

DuchessOfSausage · 07/02/2023 11:48

Kayla is nicer than Kaylee and Ayla

DuchessOfSausage · 07/02/2023 11:46

Ella is nice enough but it's been popular for decades as has Ellie.
Kaylee is awful, but Kayleigh isn't too bad but it's a bit 1980s
Ayla makes me think of Ailing, Eilidh is nice

AnotherSpare · 07/02/2023 09:52

I do like Ella, it's pretty and classic.
Not keen on Ayla, for no reason just not my taste.
Kaylee I think is ok. Prefer the Kayleigh or Kayley spellings.

What about Keeley? I prefer that to Kaylee.
Or Eloise? With Ella as a nickname.

Ella or Isla both nice.

Ayla/Kayley both a no from me.

Agree. Kaylee & Ayla no. Naff.

Isla yes. Kayleigh yes.

Ella is great. Eloise? NN Ella?

Laurdo · 07/02/2023 09:36

I like Ella the moat out of those choices.

What about Anya, Emmy, Esme, Callie, Cara, Cora, Halle?

TiredMum86 · 07/02/2023 09:29

Have you looked at any other Scottish place names if you like Isla but can't use it because of your friend, Brae, Iona, Ailsa for example

Catnary · 07/02/2023 09:29

Calli or Callie is nice. I have a colleague with that name.

Catnary · 07/02/2023 09:28

What is it about Kaylee that you like? It seems a bit made up and out of place compared to the other two.

dustydewdrop · 07/02/2023 09:25

I’m never sure if it’s Ay-la or Eye-la and I’ve seen the name a lot recently.

Sandysandwich · 07/02/2023 09:23

I like Ella the most its a great name.

Kayla, Hailey, Hallie, Callie/Callista

sashh · 07/02/2023 09:21

How about a longer name that can be shortened to Ella? That gives you and her a choice.

Arabella
Isabella
Bella
Gabriella

TheYearOfSmallThings · 07/02/2023 09:17

Ella

watchfulwishes · 07/02/2023 09:16

@ItsTrueLou Any other suggestions?

Ella.
Kaylee makes me think of women my age (early 30s) who I went to school with. It feels old fashioned

TallulahBetty · 07/02/2023 09:10

Isla and Kayleigh are spelled like that. Both nice, as is Ella.

ItsTrueLou · 07/02/2023 09:08

how about something else altogether? Out of Isla, Kayleigh and Ella, I'd choose Ella, but it's very overused atm. Apologies for being picky but Ayla and Kaylee are awful spellings too
