Not my cup of tea.

minesalargered · 11/08/2022 19:59

Think it's lovely. Don't worry what folk think, it's your choice.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 11/08/2022 20:00

I like it - it's got Lana Del Rey vibes

DillonPanthersTexas · 11/08/2022 20:04

Great if she wants to be a future Love Island contestant.

Not my style but if you like it you should use it. There are a lot of names of that ilk that I don't like on paper but when you meet a baby with one of those names, it doesn't matter at all because their name is their name and I associate it with them as a lovely little person rather than any negative connotations I have in theory.

ladydimitrescu · 11/08/2022 20:08

Stripper.

IPFrealy · 11/08/2022 20:09

And I say this as someone whose DC have very marmite names but I love them and I don't care!

Inthesameboatatmo · 11/08/2022 20:19

Sounds like a strippers name sorry

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 11/08/2022 20:20

Assassin

DramaAlpaca · 11/08/2022 20:31

It's a bit rhymey, with both names starting with similar sounds.

Neither name is my style, though I quite like the simplicity of Raine.

AhNowTed · 11/08/2022 20:31

So is the name Layla (very nice) and Raine and 2nd name only to be seen on a birth cert.

Or is the name Layla-Raine (not good) to be used day to day?

Gonnagetacatwhenimovein · 11/08/2022 20:34

Prefer Leila as the spelling. Not with Raine, too chavvy

mistygem · 11/08/2022 20:48

Both names are very modern, which might be why is getting such negative responses.
If I were you, I will drop Raine and pick another middle. There's probably bunch of another Layla Rains with all the spellings possible as both names are often mention together on people's lists.

I get why people love it, but it sounds so downmarket and chavvy, both names together.

blameitonthecaffeine · 11/08/2022 20:48

Pretty 😊

Moonshine160 · 11/08/2022 20:51

Sorry but it’s a little bit porn star-ish.

Oops sorry I didn't mean to quote you there

eddiemairswife · 11/08/2022 20:54

Porn star /drag queen.

PancakesWithCheese · 11/08/2022 21:10

Love Layla although prefer Laila/Leila. Do not like Raine.

Hoolahulahoop · 11/08/2022 21:19

Think there are nicer names out there. But if you like it. Go for it

DangerouslyBored · 11/08/2022 21:20

Nope. As PP said, it’s a stripper name

Loulou1712 · 11/08/2022 21:21

I have a friend who's daughter is Layla Rae Jefferson, I've always said she sounds like a country singer! In the nicest possible way

Love Layla and the spelling variations x

MrsMop1964 · 11/08/2022 21:22

Not for me. (By the by, wasn't Raine Princess Diana's mother's name?)

Weefreetiffany · 11/08/2022 21:23

Like the many pp my first though was also sounds like a stripper. Sorry op

Imissmoominmama · 11/08/2022 21:26

Both lovely names, but they take on a different feel when put together, if that makes sense?

Eric Clapton was singing about Layla around 50 years ago, so it’s hardly modern!!
