I know it's not always that popular but I like the name Leila so going to go with it, and need a middle name now. My other dd is called Sofia Grace. What are your thoughts?

I agree Leila Rose is lovely but my best friend named her dd Iona Rose so wondering if it would be bad form to use it?

You'd think it would be an easier business this naming lark!

Leyla Frances was one we considered for DD but with your spelling and your dds name I think:

Leila Francesca

I have a Leila Julieta, but she was almost a Leila Bridget. Other possibilities were Susan and Margaret. It seems to go with m

Leila is a beautiful name. Leila Hope sounds good with your other daughter's name too! I think you should go for a monosyllabic name for the MN. I do like Fay and Faith. May and June also nice.
