Leili?

[rosesareredvioletsare]

What do you think of Leili? There are several ways to spell it:
Leili
Leyli
Layli
Laili

Sounds like a plant or a tree

A lifetime of confusion over spelling and pronunciation.

How do you want it to be pronounced?

A colleague (Iranian) has named her daughter this and it's actually quite common name in Iran. I think it's very pretty. A diminutive version of Layla. I would personally choose the Layli spelling.

I haven't heard of it. Will it get confused with Leila? But they are both beautiful.

Short for Leylandii or Layland?

Lily/Layla/Kayleigh/Hailey confusion likely

@FayCarew Nope it’s the Persian form of Leila, it means night / night beauty

i don't really know any farsi, but the arabic for night is Lail (like tate and lyle). I'd check with someone not just accept something off a website.

I prefer Leila!

I think whichever way you spell it, it will probably get mistaken for Leila a few times. Layli is probably the spelling least likely to be mistaken for anything else, I think. (I’m thinking Leili could also be somehow construed as Lily or Laili as lie-li)

I think that's beautiful

I think it's very pretty. One of my favourite musical groups, Vas, have a song named Leyli (their singer is Iranian). If you like the name, you might enjoy the song too.

It might get misheard as Layla sometimes, but at the same time, almost every name can be misheard as something else.

I know a Leyli. I like this spelling.

Laylie?

Lélie?

I don't like it sorry

No, it sounds like a conifer.
Leila is nice.

Nope it’s the Persian form of Leila, it means night / night beauty
Are you or partner from a middle Eastern background?

It's very girly I'm not sure I can imagine it on an adult though.

I’d call her Leila and use it as a nn

It’s just too babyish for an adult - same as if you want to call your baby Kitty, fine, but give her Katherine as a full name

Never heard it but do know a couple of Leilani's in the school I work in
