Middle name for Lyla?

[Claraa2018]

We are expecting a baby girl and have decided on a first name we love: Lyla (pronounced Lie-lah). We are having trouble finding a middle name. We would like a more traditional and ideally biblical middle name. Our first choice was Lyla Hannah (this would also be a sentimental combination for us) but we wonder if it flows? We are also considering Lyla Miriam or Lyla Abigail. What do others think? We don't like Eve or Ruth as middle names. Our surname is one syllable and begins with a W. Thank you. xx

Lyla Hannah is lovely. My first thought was Lyla Ruth but then you said you didn't like it
Lyla Sarah
Lyla Elizabeth
Lyla Rachel

I’m not a massive fan of Lyla Hannah - I think the fact that they are both two syllable names ending in ‘-uh’ means they just don’t flow well.

While I love the name Abigail, I also don’t think it goes well with Lyla - I think you need a name starting with a consonant after Lyla.

I love Lyla Miriam.

Other biblical ideas...

Lyla Naomi (my favourite)
Lyla Rachel
Lyla Phoebe
Lyla Bethany (Place name, but still counts, right?)

Lyla Rose - not biblical but very pretty

Lyla May

Please don't pick:
May
Rose
Grace

Literally every girl at the moment has one of these middle names.

I personally think middle names are there so you can use a sentimental/family/meaningful name, or one that you love that's too out there. I don't think it matters dreadfully if it doesn't flow, no one says their full name out loud often and as long as it isn't somehow offensive or laughable then I think anything is fine.

On that's basis I think Lyla Hannah is nice, unless you have a meaningful attachment to any of the other options.

Lyla Jane
Lyla Judith
Lyla Ruby
Lyla Bethany

Lyla Miriam is the best out of the ones you've given us. I agree with the previous who said middle names should be meaningful, not just a random second name, but that's just me. And Lyla Hannah doesn't flow (though the number of times you'll ever say the full thing is it really that much of an issue?!)

Not exactly biblical but these sound nice to my ear:

Lyla Joy
Lyla Marie

I prefer Lyla Miriam.

Lyla Hannah doesn't flow well imo. The A endings are too much.

Suggestions -
Lyla Esther
Lyla Michal

My baby is due imminently. She's going to be Lyla Iris.

Lyla Jane

Lyla Grace. Think it's Kate Moss's daughter's name, but imo very pretty.

Lyla Adriel
Lyla Hope
Lyla Keren
Lyla Rochelle
Lyla Sarai

Adriel is my favourite out of those

I really hope your surname isn’t White!
