Sounds like a name off star trek
Horrible when there are so many pretty girls names out there!

Reminds me of the character in Stargate Atlantis too.

Teyla

I hadn't actually connected it with Taylor!

It sounds like a manmade fabric.

rofl at 'standing out from all the other Taylors' - why not choose a different name thn, eh?

Talia is rather nice though - I know several of varying ages

sounds like you are trying to hard to be exotic. Is a bit common, even thought it is totally not common if you see what I mean.

i hate really made up names. people will always be getting it wrong. Also, what does it mean?

MrsMattie · 08/09/2008 21:37

That's awful

Reginaphilangy · 08/09/2008 22:40

Really Not Good.

Well, if your friend thinks it's pretty or it has some resonance for her, then who are we to comment?

But I can tell you that teachers often make assumptions about kids based on names.

You score minus points for:

  • invented names
  • characters from low brow TV shows
  • phonetically spelt variations on 'accepted' names.

Teyla ticks all 3 boxes! I'm not saying it's fair, but it happens.

Not for me.

Mamazon · 08/09/2008 22:54

its a chav name attempting to be faux ponce by mispelling it.

sorry

frazzledoldbag34 · 09/09/2008 23:32

I think.....you must be having a larf!
or if not, she's got her naming inspiration from watching the Jerry Springer show.
(lots of large, crazy, chavvy types with mullets spring to mind, all shouting at and punching each other whilst wearing shell suits)
Either way, not good.
Poor child.

Although who am I to judge? Perhaps, one day, Teyla will become the next Prime Minister?

HonoriaGlossop · 10/09/2008 20:14

I take it there's a spelling free-for-all going today? Or have I misunderstood?
