"tayla is very common where we live and her mum gets very upset when people spell it wrong."

Then why on earth pick a bloody stupid spelling then?

motherbeyond · 03/01/2010 09:48

jessica...sorry but i agree with the chav connotations re tayla!

Mummyto3plusbump · 03/01/2010 09:31

I like them both and dont think Tayla is chavy at all. I think I prefer Jessica though because it can be shortened. xx

ChippingIn · 03/01/2010 03:57

I agree that the initial TLC make it a no-go regardless of the T name.

I actually like Jessica Tayla Coleman a little more than Jessica Louise Coleman, but I assume you are rather set on the Louise?

Tayla - no matter how you spell it, seems to have quite a negative/chavvy response in the UK, which is a shame as I quite like it before that!

BridgetGump · 01/01/2010 14:32

Wow, two names at opposite ends of the spectrum there.

Jessica is a lovely lovely name. Classic.

Tayla sounds/looks like a creative spelling for Taylor, very American sounding. I'm not a fan at all, too chav. Although I'm liking the TLC initials!

Jessica.

Tayla not pretty at all.

SplitPea · 01/01/2010 13:06

I was intending to say Jessica but actually I quite like Tayla.

The only Tayla I know of is the Ozzy girl in the childrens tv programme Mortified. I quite like how the name sounds.

sb6699 · 28/12/2009 23:21

Just in case you're having doubts - JESSICA!!!

busymummy3 · 28/12/2009 23:20

Jessica it a pretty clasical name one that will still be popular in years to come and does not date unlike Tayla which I agree you will be forever spelling it for people and also in years to come will be dated.

Missy8c · 28/12/2009 23:14

If they are the only two choices definitely go with Jessica. It's a pretty name but a bit too popular for my taste...Tayla really does sound made up and chavvy IMO.
Taya is lovely though

mathanxiety · 28/12/2009 23:05

Or Thalia, Talia, Natalia... Just not Tayla.

Is Tayla a combination of Kayla and Taylor?

Jessica is so much nicer.
