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

I don't like the pronunciation of the Tey bit, it sounds quite harsh to me. Taylor is fine. Not .y choice but perfectly acceptable. At absolute minimum acceptable would be Tayla

How do you pronounce it? Is it the same sounds as Taylor or something different?

She will hear the question ‘how do you spell that ?’ Every day of her life

It's a fictional name ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teyla_Emmagan

from a science fiction series Stargate Atlantis. I think that's where the OP got it from!

Yes agree, very chavvy

What comes to mind?

Taylor is what comes to mind.

Taylor is lovely. Teyla isn’t.

If you don’t like Taylor how about Tia?

Dislike it. As pps have said, it just looks like you can't spell Taylor. (and I don't like Taylor anyway, surname, occupation, why, when there are so many lovely girls' names?)
Not very classy either. If you like the sound, Kayla is marginally better, but has a similar vibe. Or Laila is lovely, and has a history and more class.

A chavvy Taylor who's parents can't spell. Sorry.

I'm afraid so.

I know a couple of girls (teenage age) who have it spelt Tayla.
Personally I don't think it's a terrible as half the names suggested on here. It's fine.
(and "chav" is a horrible word)

I think it sounds pretty and is nicer than Taylor

But, being realistic, it would attract a negative reaction from people as people are quite conservative about names.

No definitely spell it Taylor if that's how it's pronounced. X

Im loving the hate on these threads. When did names go from names to any old crap people decided to make up?!

I know a Tyla and a Tyler (girls) so I would wonder if it was a weird spelling of Taylor or Tyler.

I would assume you had an washing machine in your front garden, 7 pitbulls, a 'live laugh love' sign hanging up in your living room, and sat at home drinking carlsberg and stella all day.

Immediate association is Teyla from stargate atlantis. But I don't dislike the name. I think of Taylor as a boys name so just looks a bit more female.

I'd think the child was named by a 13 year old who was desperate to be younique. Fictional names are never good IMO.

What about Tala like the lovely actress in Macdonald and Dodds?
(I assume pronounced Tah-la)

First thought was the Tesla car. Second thought was it was a chav would was trying to be quirky by spelling Taylor as Teyla.

It’s not a name.

I’d think you were either bad at spelling or a try hard thinking of a ‘unique’ way of spelling Taylor. Either way it’s awful

I’d also pronounce it Tee la just to be annoying

My dd had a classmate called ‘Taylah’ - ugh it still makes me cringe. I’m sure the mum thought it was ’different’ but yes dear reader, pure chav, and pregnant at 15.

Awful. Don't do it. That poor child

How are you saying it? Taylor? In which case just spell it Taylor.

Or is it Tiler?

in either case, it’s a no from me. Sounds made up / try hard.

unless it’s Swedish or Hungarian or whatever your background is. Either way she’ll be spelling / explaining it all her life.

Sorry but🤣🤣🤣🤣
