Expecting a wee girl in July. Lyla was my initial favourite. Now swithering about Layla. Not 100% on either.

Which do you prefer? Please no negative comments as have no other favourites!

Also if you have any other suggestions based on this name taste please do suggest!

Both are lovely ❤️. I prefer the spelling Leila but wouldn’t use it as I think lots would pronounce it Leela.

In a similar vein are…
Leia
Lara
Ayla

Lilah
Leah

Laina is a pretty name

I was watching Guardians of the Galaxy the other day and was thinking that Lylla was a pretty name. I also like Lyra which is inspired by Phillip Pullman’s trilogy.
