What are yours thoughs on Lila? I've seen it described as 'lowbrow' and celeby. Is Leila any better? Also like Lara.

What are your opinions?

I think Lila Grace is Kate Moss's daughter but I quite like it aside from that...

I like Lara too - don't like Leila though - the song would drive me mad...

I know one called Lilo

I like Lila, and Leila, and Lara! All good choices.

I think Lara is the most high brow and Leila the prettiest.

Not keen on Lila I'm afraid.

I like Lara :) How about Larissa, with Lara for short? Or Leah, Lena, Louisa, Lydia, Lois?

Maybe Elizabeth, with Lila as nn?

I have one and I love it! Not sure how it is low brow or celeby Hmm. Kate Moss has one I think but I'm sure plenty of celebs also have Emily's and Grace's.

Everyone comments on what a lovely name it is, the only downside is when people read it they don't always know how to pronounce it.

I like Lila and Leila (pronounced Layla) too. Lara would be third choice.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 31/08/2010 20:40

Lara
Lana
Leah
