How would you spell Layla Mae?

[bluechameleon]

Today is the only day I can write the cards for DS1's class at nursery so I don't have time to ask the teachers for a list. He is keen to send cards havig received a few. We have come up with a list with the correct number of children on so hopefully have remembered everyone, but not sure of all spellings. Do you think it is most likely to be:

1. Layla Mae
2. Layla May
3. Some other variation?

And should I put in a hyphen or not? I know it doesn't matter too much but I'd like the highest chance of getting it right. Thanks

Laila- may

To Santa's little helper from op's ds!! 😂

My guess would be Layla-May, but really, it could be

although 'Mae' is very common too

Leila May

Laila Mai

Actually no, if its one of those dreadful double barrelled christian names, its more likely to be hyphenated with May spelt “Mae”. Laylah/Layla/Leila is anybody’s guess though.

It could be 'mai' also, that should say

As you've put it in your title is how I would spell it

I'd go for Layla May. I'd always go for the most "acceptable to all" spellings. So don't hyphenate or put Mae. It's the least likely to offend if you get it wrong.

I'd go with your title. Can you ask any of the other mom's? Or search laylas mom on Facebook and see if it says!

Layla-Mae would be my guess

If the child uses both names I would think it's Layla-Mae

How I spelt it would depend on the parents...

Ask another school mum?

Leila May

Laela-Mae

My guess would be Layla-Mae or Leila-Mae. If she goes by both names then it will probably be hyphenated but it could also be one name like Leilamae (yes I've seen a few like that).

Layla may

Hopefully not hyphenated with Mai

Personally? If I were naming her, "Leila May".

In reality, I expect she's a "Layla-Mae".
