Please ! I like it

ClaudiaJean2016 · 30/10/2016 01:51

Like it. Not sure if I prefer Kaela though.

Pluto30 · 30/10/2016 01:16

I have a lovely cousin named Kayla, so I like it. The association is a positive one for me, and it fits in with a lot of the other "popular" names at the moment without being popular itself.

I like it but I suspect most of Mumsnet won't. There's some weird anti K thing!

WanderingTrolley1 · 30/10/2016 03:22

Don't like it at all.

Sounds like one of those new, made-up names and common.

Sorry.

TrumpsFluffyHair · 30/10/2016 03:24

^^

This is what I mean!

ButterfliesRfree · 30/10/2016 03:35

Prefer Kyla, but if you like Kayla then go for it.

Coey2016 · 30/10/2016 05:19

I knew a lovely Kayla, the pretty name suited her. I think it was short for michaela.

I know one - I wouldn't chose it but it is inoffensive

I like classic names though

JC23 · 30/10/2016 06:46

To me it does sound "common"

I prefer Karlie and Callie

rugbychick1 · 30/10/2016 06:52

I like it. It isn't a made up name, and is popular in New Zealand. A friend there had a Kayla. So a positive association for me to

SquirrelPaws · 30/10/2016 06:54

I like it. People may assume it's short for Michaela, which I also quite like.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 30/10/2016 06:57

Really like it, to me it is one of those 'everyone knows it but it's not overused' names, which is the holy grail IMO. I know 2 Kaylas, one 1 year old and one 20-something. I remember meeting the older Kayla (when we were both kids) and thinking it was an unusual name and must be short for Michaela. But I've found that a recurring theme in my life - names I thought were offbeat as a kid have ended up on my shortlists for my own babies and DS even has one of them Grin

Don't like it at all.

Dislike it. Like Kay

Sophronia · 30/10/2016 08:34

It's not my usual style, but I kind of like it.

MrsGsnow18 · 30/10/2016 09:06

I know a little girl called Kayla, I think it's a lovely name.

rainbow99 · 30/10/2016 09:25

I don't like it, it sounds 'common' to me too

SorenaJ · 30/10/2016 10:20

I like it. I know a kind and lovely girl called Kayla.

I've never heard it.

Crunchymum · 30/10/2016 11:48

Very American (to me) and a bit made up.
