Love Layla. Don't like Raine as a second name though.

eddiemairswife · 11/08/2022 22:50

I think Raine was Diana's stepmother. Her mother 'the bolter' was Frances.

Kanaloa · 11/08/2022 22:52

Layla is a lovely name. I’m not sure I would go for Raine with it - they seem to almost rhyme/sound awkward together. However, middle names are rarely used, so I always think if there’s an unusual name you like that’s where I’d use it.

Odd how so many women on here are so familiar with strippers.

Not really. Not everyone's sheltered.

Porn star /drag queen.

Agreed.

It's a made up name.

midsomermurderess · 12/08/2022 00:06

Oh come on! It’s a sneer, not a brush with reality.

wizzler · 12/08/2022 00:07

Where I live it would be pronounced Lay Lorraine which is not, I assume, what you are hoping for

Louise0701 · 12/08/2022 00:10

Stripper name.

Louise0701 · 12/08/2022 00:11

@wizzler haha! I’ve just said it out loud and now I’m wondering if you’re from South Yorkshire like me as I too make it sound like Lay Lorraine 😂

Silverfinch · 12/08/2022 00:14

Sounds like a porn star.

Enko · 12/08/2022 00:15

Also. Thought lana del ray. Not a bad connection

I particularly like Raine it was on our short list

wizzler · 12/08/2022 01:16

@Louise0701 I am indeed

JasmineVioletRose · 12/08/2022 02:10

No. Not Raine.

ladydimitrescu · 11/08/2022 20:08

Stripper.

Nailed it.

Kanaloa · 12/08/2022 02:35

chubbachub · 12/08/2022 00:01

Agreed.

It's a made up name.

Layla? Is an Arabic name, relatively well known. It’s not made up just because some sneering mumsnetters think it’s a ‘chavvy stripper name.’

😂 not everyone is, but the people commenting ‘stripper name’ on the mumsnet baby name section definitely are

RestingMurderousFace · 12/08/2022 05:41

100% pornstar.

DillonPanthersTexas · 11/08/2022 20:04

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

Unfortunately this is what it sounds like

Leila is nice though

Leila Rosanna maybe?

Luxa · 12/08/2022 16:49

I like Layla on its own, but Layla Raine sounds like Lay Lorraine.

Craver · 12/08/2022 16:56

Drag Queen comes to mind to be honest.
