So which of these names do you prefer? Also, which spelling is best.
Also, I am open to suggestions to other girls names, that are similar to these in style, and perhaps don’t start with “L”. thanks so much everyone
My favorite is [name]Leila[/name], spelled [name]Leila[/name]! I think it may be fairly popular these days, but it’s so pretty and French and even a bit sexy.
[name]Leah[/name] is sort of bland to my ears, [name]Leia[/name] is nice but seems incomplete to me, [name]Lila[/name]/[name]Lyla[/name]/[name]Lilah[/name] is really twangy Southern sounding to me… not a bad thing necessarily but if I wanted to name a girl something twangy-Southern sounding I’d go all the way to [name]Eudora[/name]. [name]Lily[/name] is pretty but might get stale because there are so many Lilys around. [name]Lilly[/name] looks misspelled to me.
[name]Lila[/name] is my favorite. It’s pretty, easy to spell for a young child, and rolls off the tongue. BTW: I don’t picture someone with a Southern accent at all, I picture someone with a British accent. lol
[name]Lily[/name] is overused / over saturated.
I like [name]Layla[/name], but the name will always be associated with the [name]Eric[/name] Clapton song.
My favorites in order are
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Lily[/name](becoming very popular, [name]Susannah[/name] is a gorgeous underused classic and means [name]Lily[/name] and has tons of nns)
[name]Leila[/name](my favorite spelling but I agree with a pp, it is still very im “classic rock” but mostly with the [name]Layla[/name] spelling)
[name]Leia[/name] (pretty but too [name]Star[/name] Wars for me, the association is too strong)
[name]Leah[/name] (pretty but bland to me and a bit mainstream)
Some names I love you may like: [name]Lydia[/name] is my most enthusiastic suggestion. Also [name]Laurel[/name], Laetticia, [name]Lyra[/name] leer-uh),[name]Lena[/name], [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Leonore[/name] [name]Eleonore[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Lillian[/name]/a, Lrelei/ai, [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Luciana[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lucienne[/name], [name]Lyric[/name], [name]Camille[/name],[name]Delilah[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Willa[/name]
My favourite is [name]Lily[/name], even though it’s so popular. It’s just such a sweet, beautiful name with a natural and feminine image.
I also like [name]Lilah[/name]/[name]Lila[/name] quite a lot.
You have quite the “L” list! Some of my favourite L names that you don’t have on your list are [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Leona[/name], [name]Leora[/name] and [name]Lillian[/name] (which now that I look again, I see is in your signature!)
I would rule out [name]Leia[/name] first because of the [name]Princess[/name] [name]Leia[/name] association, which could result in teasing. [name]Leah[/name] is a lovely Biblical name, though perhaps a bit dated. [name]Leila[/name] / [name]Layla[/name] seems too trendy to me. So from your choices, I would pick either [name]Lily[/name] or [name]Lila[/name]. [name]Both[/name] are very pretty names.
In case you’re still debating, have you considered [name]Luna[/name], [name]Lena[/name], or [name]Lina[/name]?
My favorite is [name]Lily[/name], followed by [name]Lila[/name], then [name]Leila[/name]. And then [name]Leah[/name]. I’m not a fan of [name]Leia[/name] at all. Other “L” names I love are [name]Lena[/name], [name]Lola[/name], [name]Lela[/name]/[name]Leela[/name] (not sure how to spell this, really, but I love it!), [name]Leni[/name], [name]Leda[/name], [name]Liv[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Lilia[/name], etc., too!
I’m [name_f]Leah[/name_f] lee-yah, so I’m a little bit biased on that.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] spelled like that is one of my favorite names, I just think it’s so pretty! [name_f]Leah[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] are my favorite from those!
Spelling wise I like…
[name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Leia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
Overall, my favourite names are either [name_f]Leila[/name_f] or [name_f]Leia[/name_f].
I can’t decide between [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Leia[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] very nice, in their own way. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is a bit more substantial.
