Lyla

[JessieIsabelle]

Could you let me know what you think of Lyla for a girl, please?

Pronounced ly-la. I don't like any other spellings.

Lovely:)

Really pretty.

It sounds pretty

Nice, and good at all ages

Love it!

Lovely name. I have a dear friend named Lyla (40s) and she is absolutely wonderful, beautiful inside and out. Her heritage is Indian but generations ago. Go for it!

really like it! Lovely name.

Yes I like it. It is quite trendy right now but not in a bad way in that it's literally everywhere right now, just that it's currently on an upward curve.

I do really like it but agree it's one of those trendy names.

Merges into all the Lily, Lyra, Lola, Layla, Isla, Mila type names.

It’s lovely but incredibly popular and becomes dull if you just pair it with the filler middle names of Rose/Grace/May.

Really nice

Somewhere between meh and sweet. If I met someone with the name I wouldn't think twice but this is a forum for analysis so I'll say that it reminds me of: flowers, bohemians, Pvc Inflatable Lilo, Lilo and Stitch, other vowel heavy names that are currently popular like Isla, Lola, Lyra, Layla, Milo. I can envision it being chosen by a reality TV star from Towie, as well as by the actress Sienna Miller. Hippyish, ditsy, sweet, forgettable and inoffensive.

Overall, I do think I like the name, just not enough to use it personally.

It's a nice name.
I don't know anyone with that spelling, though, but it's a nice name.

This ^^

It's definitely one of those names that just blends in with a large amount of names that are currently popular amongst young girls. It's a nice enough name but it does sometimes start to feel like all the little girls have the same name.

It makes me think of inflatable lilos

It blends with all the Lola/Luna/Lena/lyra/Luna/Leila names around as pp has said

And it’s a bit Lola the showgirl

So no from me

I really like it, it was high on my list before we found out we were having a boy. I also liked Lyra

My friend’s daughter is called this but different spelling. Might just be me, but even after 8 years I find it so hard not to call her “Leila”. Every. Time

I really liked it when pregnant but glad i didnt choose it as i think it's a bit in the chav side

Pretty!!

I'm not a fan because it feels like half a name, there is a lyla in my DS class and without fail I say it wrong every time. like it should be Delilah

Lyra is the classiest of all those L names in my opinion, followed by Lily (classic, but over done now) and then Lyla / Lila. I do really like the sound of all three and I suppose they are popular for good reason. Just be aware of the sheer volume of these type of names in the UK; they do become somewhat interchangeable. I don’t understand the popularity of the Spanish ones like Lola and Luna as these are a little low rent in Spain (where I live) and are reserved for pets and nicknames for performers; middle class Spaniards don’t touch them (they use names like Clara, Alba and Alma).

Love it

As a pp said, near me it’s also a bit of a chav name.
