thoughts on Twyla?

[theory]

Still can't decide on a girl's name, but we keep circling back to Twyla (meaning "woven of two cords" or "twilight", depending on where you look...). Any thoughts? Have you ever known a Twyla or Twila? What sort of nicknames do you think it might generate?

I like the meaning- if she is a twin, it's a very good meaning, but as a singleton?

don't like it at all, sorry

Twyla the Turkey Twizzler.

Perhaps that's my own bizarre word association game..

Sorry

Chav.
Sorry!

I would think you were from the Bible Belt USA

Yes me too
We had a babysitter in West Virginia called Twyla who arrived with her bible

We were all falling around laughing at how terrible her name was too

sorry its shocking and i know im going to be prounouncing every word beginning with a t with a tw for a while now.

Sorry, but I can't think of it without my brain doing a stupid Beverly Hillbillie accent!

I am very amused by the Stan and Stan twins! Rofl! Those Tharps, eh, crazy names, crazy people.

I've seen it used - I'm sure there was a singer or Christian songwriter called Twila Paris - but I'm not a huge fan....

Would it be Twill-ah or T-why-la...?

Very at people slamming the name

I have a very good friend in Canada called Twyla. She is neither from the deep south or bible weiding, in fact she is smart, gorgeous and funny.

never heard of it

dont like it much

Bathsheba there is.

I love the name, have done since I first heard of Twila Paris. I'm not sure where the idea it sounds like a lisp comes from, probably people who haven't heard it said.

It's not Twilla BTW and not quite T-why-la.

It's quite pretty. It reminds me of Freya and Maia in its style. I don't dislike it but I wouldn't choose it.

I know of one, so I know it's not made up, but I think some people would think it was made up.

I think I just prefer Twighlight as a name. It's more substantial and you could still use Twyla as a nickname.

Purpleduck, no one has a problem with your friend!
Just because she's nice doesn't mean her name is!

The lisp come from Terry Pratchett

I have a friend called Adolph, no one must say they dont like the name or I will be very cross because she is lovely!

It sounds made up. Horrid.

comes*

There's no lisp in the pronunciation of it and not everyone reads Pratchett (apparently).

Maybe it's because I've grown up with the name, but I think it's pretty.

AWFUL !!!

Sorry Botbot, but Twyla Tharp is anything but wanky contemporary dance! Have you ever SEEN it?

It's a lovely name - and it really suits Twyla Tharp - she's very feisty and pixie-ish

Sorry, I hear Duelling Banjos too when I hear it.
