Thoughts on Lyla

[User135792468]

Since I got pregnant with ds1, I always had my heart set on Lyla. I’m now pregnant with dc3 and after 2 boys, I was shocked to be told it was a girl (much to the disappointment of ds1 and ds2) as I was convinced it was another boy. Now I’m having a wobble on the name.

What do you think when you hear the name Lyla?

I like Lyla Kate.

Love it. I know one and have always liked it since she was born.

Addisons is a disease so I’m no too keen on that.
I wouldn’t pick a middle name starting with the same letter that the first name ends with as they roll together.

Lyla Belle is nice enough but prefer Lyla Isabelle.
Lyla Mirabel
Lyla Yasmin
Lyla Margot

I don't like it at all. It makes me think of Lilo or Tate & Lyle.

It just merges is with all the Lily, Layla, Lola, Luna and Lyra type names.

I don't like Delilah either.

Delia is nice.

I like Lyla Belle the most purely because that’s your DH’s favourite - I think it’s lovely when both parents pick the name :-) Although I do love the sound of someone’s suggestion of Lyla Isabelle!

Lila, Lola, Layla, Luna, Lyra's are everywhere.

Not keen on any of your middles, sorry. I think because Lyla is fairly trendy/current (along with all the other short L names), it pairs best with a more classic/traditional middle name (preferably not ending in A) - you could still choose something popular/top 100 if that's what you like though :

Lyla Eve
Lyla Evelyn
Lyla Sophie
Lyla Beatrice
Lyla Elizabeth
Lyla Emily
Lyla Florence
Lyla Isabel
Lyla Imogen
