Baby is due in a little over a weeka nd we still haven't picked between these names. We're going to just decide when she's birn between the two but I thought I'd take a poll for fun here.

Incidentally if they're wrong and it's a boy it'll be Gabriel.

ooo love them both have a friend called Áine and i think they are pretty similar but i prob prefer Anya as its more unusual.

Haha I was going to say Anya as it's less unusual! Lyla reminds me of Kate Moss' daughter and made up chavvy names - sorry!

Love Anya!!!

I know an Anya, good name. Lyla looks like a mis-spelling of Leyla/Layla so I would spell it Lila. Both sound pretty.

Lyla (personally prefere the spelling Lila) is definitely one of my favourite girl's names of all time! beautiful!
