Layla or Leila?

[GenerationsLP]

Really can't decide!

Leila

DS2 was going to be a Leila

Layla looks like you don't know how to spell Leila

Def Leila

Laila

I don't know if you say 'Leila' as 'l-ay-la' or 'l-eye-la', I would obviously say Layla as the first of those.

Prefer Layla hands down.

Leila I'm just not so keen on.

They're both pronounced the same.

Laila isn't an option :)

Way prefer Leila

I LOVE the name Leila!

I have a friend called Layla, I really like it

I know a Leila pronounced Lee-la.

Layla, as in the Eric Clapton song.

Allofme she pronounces it incorrectly

Layla because just reading that spelling plays the opening rift of Eric Clapton's classic.

I would spell it Leila for ليلى and Layla or Lela for ليلة.

Leila.

I like both equally. I would normally have a definite preference for the more 'traditional' spelling of a name but in this situation I think both spellings are fine

Layla.

It's the original spelling, despite what most people think. Plus, Leila removes the song connection and that song is one of the greatest ever written.

Layla or Laila

Leila.

Leila

Layla

Leila.

How is 'Layla' the original? It's an Arabic / Hebrew / Persian name so and spelling in English would be phonetic from the original language.

I think of Leila as the original spelling and Layla as the Eric Clapton song. Both ok though personally would choose Leila.
