Opinions on Layla

[elsafro]

just that please! ^

Love it!

It’s pretty :)

a song a nice funky song from the 70's or 80's right now but it's a lovely name. easy to spell and pronounce.

Love it, wouldn’t use it because I went to school with one who was a horrible person! But it’s a cute name

I like it.

Layla is a beautiful name.

And the song is iconic. One of the greatest rock songs ever written, and the story behind it is quite something.

It's ok. Very very popular in the 90s but much less so now.

Can't hear the name without hearing that fantastic guitar riff:

Great name 😘

Tbh it's a bit downmarket

Downmarket 😂

It's a beautiful name and means 'night' in Arabic.

I have a cousin who is a Layla. It's a nice name but over the years she has got so sick of having the song sung at her. I know it's a good song with an amazing riff but it gets boring after a while! Just something to consider.

I like it. Think I prefer the Leila spelling though.

Downmarket?

It's lovely. My friends dd is Laila and has never had the song sung at her. Not keen on leila spelling but only because I think she would get caleed Lee-la which isn't as nice.

Not keen, I think it’s the “lay” part. Leila looks better.

Leila is a much prettier spelling

I have a friend who is married to an Arab so they wanted names that are common in both cultures. They have a Leila and a Miriam both of which I think are lovely.

Doesn't float my boat. Sorry.

I love it but it is a bit of a Marmite name I think (OH doesn't). Prefer the Laila spelling.

I like it. My friend has just had a daughter and she named her Layla.

It also makes me think of this song

I love it. Also might want to consider Lyla, it's my dd's middle name, love it because there's not many about!

Tbh it's a bit downmarket

It's a beautiful name, awesome song. Can't see any issues.

It's nice enough

My cousin has a 2 year old Layla. When it was announced I remember think it was nice enough but a bit meh. Plenty love it though just not to my tastes (but then my tastes aren't alot of people's cup of tea)

My girl is called Layla & she's 3.. I didn't know many when I chose it but its definitely more popular now. Also sad to hear some people think it's a bit downmarket I love it and people regularly tell me how pretty it is. Also went for the simplest spelling as I work in a hospital & have to call patients, regularly have no idea what their names are or how to say them so wanted to avoid that!

i like it
