Vaila is new to me and I think it's gorgeous! Especially in a Scottish accent. Congratulations on your upcoming arrival ☺️

Yes @VeridicalVagabond it's pronounced Vay-la and is Scottish :)

Zachary my fav boy name. Luke John would be a bit biblical for my tastes.

if you like Penny you should call her Penelope rather than the nn of it? Vaila cool and unique but showing up as a spelling error on my phone?

I really like Brodie. All your boys names are nice though!

Vaila - is that pronounced Vay-la? I like it, if so. Very pretty. Is that Scottish too?
