Help[Opinions] Re: Layla, Leila, Leyla...
in reply to a message by asujakin
Layla is my favourite spelling, as it's the original. Leila's alright too, because of the literary precedent. But I dislike any other spelling.
Layla's a very pretty, underused name imo. The meaning is "night", so I tend to picture the name on a girl with black features: hair, eyes (OK, she'd really just have very dark brown eyes), or complexion. Alternatively, Layla would be a perfect name for a girl who was born at night, regardless of her colouring.
