Have name-changed for this post, sorry... But what are your thoughts? Anyone know anything more about the name Nyla? What do you think of it?
Thanks :)

Isn't it the lioness in he Lion King? I do like it though. Unusual without sounding ridiculous.

I think she was Nala? Thank you. Small concern is that my friend has an Isla...

Is that name used in a Tom Cruise film, possibly Mission Impossible? I have come across one girl called Nyla and she is stunning.

Thanks all.
Smother - I like Nola too, do you know its meaning?
Bluddy
Carrots - I'm not sure, never seen M I, but that's nice to know, thanks.
Any more anyone?

Nyla

Can't find out anything about a Nyla in Mission Impossible so I may well be speaking rubbish again

YouremindmeoftheBFP · 02/06/2011 09:35

I think I actually prefer Nala and Nola. Nyla sounds too much like Isla to my ears.

BlueChampagne · 02/06/2011 16:45

How about Nuala?

MollyMurphy · 02/06/2011 16:46

Nyla - its pretty, I like it.

fluffygal · 02/06/2011 16:52

I like it.

LoopyLoopsBettyBoops · 02/06/2011 17:10

I would like it apart from the daughter of Neil bit.

lilaloves · 02/06/2011 17:18

The girl in mission impossible is Nya.

Thanks everyone.
Loopy, do you mean you don't like that it means 'daughter or Neil'? I thought that was quite cute...

I like it, its pretty

LoopyLoopsBettyBoops · 02/06/2011 22:34

Is Neil her dad? That's what I don't like if so. Like Nigel and Nigella Lawson. Sorry, but vom.

Nyla means …. Princess of the Nile River

ILoveShula · 30/07/2021 07:10

Made me think of Nylon
