Lyla Grey?

[sunshinedaisy123]

So I did a thread about the name Lyla which a lot of people liked but I didn't want to use a common middle name like rose/mae etc so what do we think of Lyla Grey?

Reminded me of Lady Grey.

I like Lyla but think Grey will date very quickly

I assumed Grey was your surname, and I thought it was a nice combo.

It’s not a nice middle name. Of all the great girls’ names out there, why pick a drab colour?

Sounds like a paint colour.

Lady grey was my first thought too

It sounds like a paint colour to me too… Lyla Greer has a similar sound

I’m not too keen on Lyla Grey personally, but I think middle names can be as unusual as you like as they’re rarely used, so go with what you love.

Do you like

Lyla Rae
Lyla Bryn
Lyla Quinn
Lyla Wren
Lyla Nell
Lyla Reese
Lyla Sage
Lyla Skye
Lyla Wynn

I agree not Grey but I love all these suggestions. I wish I'd asked mumsnet for help before naming my kids- there are some naming wizards on here!

Lyla Quince

If she gave her full name people would be likely to assume her surname was double-barrelled.

Sounds like a porn star name.

Grey is a wanky middle name.

It sounds like a last name.

Sounds fine to me
Or how about
Lyla Lynne
Lyla Jane
Lyla Bette
Lyla Casey
Lyla Jessie
Lyla Louise
Lyla Sinead
Lyla Raquel
Lyla Josephine
Lyla Hazel
Lyla Ivy
Lyla Leigh
Lyla Kay

I really like Lyla. Not keen on Grey as a name - as others have said, it’s not massively appealing as a colour!

Lyla Grace
Lyla May
Lyla Faye

The G sounds too much like a C so it runs together and sounds like Lilac Ray.

Im not sure if I’d choose Lyla Grey or Lilac Ray for the wall colour.

Lila is nice, but I think it needs something longer and more substantial in the middle.

I think I'd go for a longer middle name

I think Greer is a great suggestion for the vibe you're looking for.

Lyla Grey sounds like you were struggling to choose between Lyla Grace and Lyla May, so opted for a mishmash

Do you really need a middle name? I have a similar name for dd and in the end after going through hundreds of names we decided to have no middle name because it felt complete without it and no other name suited it.

Enola Gay or drab paint colour come to my mind too.
Her middle name can be anything unless you are planning to always call her by the whole of her name. It doesn't really need to flow .Pick another name that you like, no name or a family name.

Your daughter might prefer a more exciting colour...

Awful. And sounds like you wanted to name her after someone called Graham.

Agreed it reminds me of Lady Grey.

Do you have anyone in your family you'd like to honour? That's usually what the middle name space is reserved for.

Enola Gay and a porn star sprung to mind. I’m not one to saddle children with ‘trendy’ ( and I use that term loosely), shit names .
