Lara

What about Lana...

Or better yet...Laya (pronounced lay-ya) can be spelt Laya/Leya/Leah/Leia. I think she is the daughter of Jacob.

Laya is the best of both worlds between Raya and Lara.

JingsMahBucket · 15/02/2019 01:51

How is Raya pronounced? Like ray of sun or like Ra, the Egyptian sun god?

In either case, I prefer Raya.

CallMeRachel · 15/02/2019 01:53

Raya is the name of a dating app so I'd probably go for Lara.

Threenanger · 15/02/2019 02:08

Or Luna?

Discobabe98 · 15/02/2019 02:25

Love Raya. Also love Laya like threenager said. One of my fav girl names Smile

SallyWD · 15/02/2019 07:36

Lara

Lara

Noots · 15/02/2019 09:42

I don't like either.
If I had to pick one I guess Lara as DC's school is full of Raya/Kaya/Jaya/Taya/Maya.

aliceandkids77 · 15/02/2019 10:32

I vote for Lara! both darling though, good luck x

Cosmoa · 15/02/2019 11:09

@Noots I love all those kinda names 😂

Can I ask what area you're in? Curious where those names are popular.

And I obviously prefer Raya as mentioned on a previous thread.

Cosmoa · 15/02/2019 11:11

Oh... Just realised the last post about Raya was posted by a different username.

Needadoughnut · 15/02/2019 11:11

Raya means line and scribble in Spanish, I prefer Lara. Leia as someone mentioned is a beautiful name .

MikeUniformMike · 15/02/2019 12:03

Lara

Merchantgirl · 15/02/2019 12:05

I love Raya, Lara is nice too

Noots · 15/02/2019 15:53

@Cosmoa sorry Blush they are the girl versions of Kaiden/Jayden/Brayden/Aiden to me. We're in North Wales and the local accent does nothing for the names!
However if you love it you should use it, my kids have names that are not always well received on here but I love them.

Cosmoa · 15/02/2019 21:10

@Noots No worries! I almost called my daughter Kaia last year but found a name I liked a tiny bit more! If I ever had another though she'd be Kaia. My OH is from North Wales but he has a bit of a non-accent now if that makes sense?
