Really struggling to name the newest addition...

Leila or Lucy?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Both lovely but Lucy just pips it!

We nearly named ours Leila (pronounced Lila)

Both are lovely names!

Lucy. I have one aged 13, and she is awesome!

Lucy. I quite like Leila but names like Lily and Lila are too popular.
Would say Leila as Leela. Not keen on Layla

For me Leila

Laila, pronounced Lay la. Mine is 25 years old. Beautiful name.

Leila pronounced Lee-La is that’s more unusual :)

Leila had the pronounciation issues of Lay-la vs Lee-la so depends on how much that bothers you.

BabsDylan · 16/07/2023 09:17

Lucy, underused these days!

Leila quite popular…

Leila is beautiful. Congratulations on your new daughter.
