Isla or Laila?

[m90]

Hi, I'm due in April, just wondered your opinions on these names,
also going to use May as middle name as is was my Nana's name so has a special meaning. Thanks x

Sorry stupid phone I meant I'd*

I really don't like Laila. Still hear the Eric Clapton song "Layla, you got me on my knees" and i don't think it has a particularly nice roll off the tongue.

Isla is pretty but I do know an Isla White so think about how it sounds with your surname!

Much prefer, as Glasshammer said, Lyra, or even Luna or Lily to Laila though

May is also a name used in the Arab world so Laila May would be ok. But just to be a little bit different you could perhaps consider Layali instead of Laila. So her name could be Layali May.

Thanks for your opinions, We live in Mid Wales and both names are fairly uncommon, I want to keep May as Middle name as it was my Nana's name, but I know what you mean about it being over used these days,That's why I'm not spelling it Mae or Mai or hyphenating the name.

How about Iona which is similar but less popular?

Love both but one is a cousins name and the other doesn't fit surname :-(. Both would be on my list though xxx

Glad to hear you aren't hyphenating!

I also prefer Laila

or what about:

Lara
Lana
Leah
Lyra?
