Thoughts on Teyla for the girl? What comes to mind?

Tesla. As in the car.

Don’t know how to spell Taylor ?

Sounds chavvy - sorry!

I like the sound of it, but I’d spell it Taylor.

I’d go for Taylor instead. I’m not very keen on the name but then I tend to prefer more traditional names which is just personal taste.

Literally this, every single time they will have to spell their name!!!

You need to spell it Taylor if you're going to use it, I think.

First thought would be you couldn't spell.

Trailer park, sorry.

This!

Plus, I don't like how it looks.

Shell spend her life correcting people about how to spell her name

This ^ would be my first thought, sorry

Very chavy/trailer park and yes, I'd assume as well that you couldn't spell Taylor.

Tesla or can't spell I'm afraid.

Why are you spelling it like that?

My first thought would be, Is it a made up name? And is it pronounced the same as Taylor?

Tesla came to my mind.

I will ignore the ridiculous spelling as PPs have covered that !

Otherwise there will be a shit load of Taylors around I'm sure. I'm not sure id want people assuming I'd named my kid after a pop star.

That said. I think you are winding us up. . Nice one!

Never heard of the name before, I hate these names derived from fiction or misspelling but why not? I agree that the child will have to endlessly spell her name again if it doesn't become wildly popular. One of my daughters is wildly grateful that I didn't on a whim call her Ziba, seen in a hotel room Bible many, many years ago after a bottle of booze!!

Prefer Taylor. Not a name I'd chose but wouldn't have any negative thoughts about it spelt Taylor.

Several things come to mind about Teyla:

1. Taylor with a spelling mistake

2. Leyla with a T rather than an L

3. It looks like the word Tesla - only one letter different.

I don't mean to be a bitch, but you need to give your child a name that is practical and that doesn't embarrass them.

Chav. Probably friends with Vicky Pollard.

That you don't know how to spell Taylor

Absolutely dreadful.

Think about when they see an adult and applying for a job!

Teyla instantly conjures up a sink estate and being friends with Vicky Pollard.

This is why online spaces are more useful than real life for opinions.

Me IRL - Oh wow, what made you think of that? It’s not a name/spelling I’ve come across…

Me on MN - HELL NO, OP, it’s tacky, makes you look like a Swiftie who can’t spell and your child will hate her name. Just don’t .

Taylor*. You've never grown up with a name that no one call spell, OP, and it shows.
