Expecting a wee girl in July. Lyla was my initial favourite. Now swithering about Layla. Not 100% on either.

Which do you prefer? Please no negative comments as have no other favourites!

Also if you have any other suggestions based on this name taste please do suggest!

I love them both - I think I’d choose Layla, it has a really happy feel about it to me :)

I like pp suggestions of Lyra and Leia too. Or Isla, Lena, Lola, Clara, Lara, Cleo, Leah, Liza, Lydia, Lucy, Lois.

Not Lois. Nobody can pronounce it or spell it and its absolutely crap having a stupid name like Lois.

Its my given name so I know what I'm talking about. I got so sick of being called Lewis that I use my middle name instead.

Leila is my cousins name. That's pretty.

I prefer Layla, biased because I know a lovely Layla.
Lydia, Hayley?

I prefer Layla to Lyla but would probably spell it Leila
Myla is also pretty

Lyla is lovely. My friends just had a baby called Lyra just to throw you a potential curveball!
