Baby name Twyla - thoughts? Too quirky?

[LolaBumble]

Like Twy-lah

I don't like at all sorry! Looks made up and it's not pretty to look at or to say...

No.

Hard, hard no.

I have a job where I come across truly bizarre children's names daily - this one is right up there.

Very Schitts Creek.

Only ever heard of Twyla Tharp.

it sounds a slightly awkward name to me but it’s certainly unusual and very arty.

This is the name of a character from Schitts creek. No.

Sorry, I don't like it.
Personally I think the child would probably get a few eye bats with the name Twyla . Certainly would around my way. A name like that would be most unusual

Isn't that from Monster High?

The only one I’ve heard of is Twyla Tharp. Don't hate it but it’s not my favourite.

I know someone with a Skylah. Different I guess 🤷‍♀️

No.

An artist , a choreographer , and a character in Schitt’s Creek. I like it.

This.

No! Poor child

Sorry, not keen, would have to spell out on every phone call. For life.

Makes me think of The Hogfather!

And for your perusal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twyla

Twyla was the name of the cat in one of the terrible Barbie Disney princess films my DD used to watch obsessively!

Never heard of it... and if it hasn't been heard of it usually should stay unheard of!

I've only ever heard of Twyla Tharp but yes, people nowadays will think of Schitts Creek, I should think. I don't dislike it, but it's maybe a bit divisive 😳

Other names in the same sort of style, for me:

Margot
Nina
Petra (I think because of Ballet Shoes 😁)
Thea
Talia
Corinne
Hester

Sounds incredibly chavvy to me. Just no.

I just think of Robin Williams doing his Twyla dance in The Bird Cage and Twyla from
Schitts creek

Awful, don’t do it.

I dont like it and it looks odd written down but it is a fairly normal name in the States. If you're in the UK then i wouldnt.

I love it personally but I know one irl (definitely not chavvy, quite posh family) so it's maybe a bit less weird to me than others here!

I think it belongs on the thread that I saw earlier in the week asking people for the most ridiculous children's names they have ever come across.
