I was given a great list of possible middle names for our daughter. Her name will be [name]Laila[/name] for sure and our last name starts with a C. I saw a game on another website where you pick one from a list that you don’t like and repost the rest, and eventually there is only one left. I think that will work out really well for giving [name]Laila[/name] her middle name. Please help me out…my husband still believes that we’re having a boy (even though we’re not) and doesn’t want to offer help for a girls’ name.
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Rae[/name]

[name]Laila[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Breanne[/name].
Have you thought about [name]Laila[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Laila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Laila[/name] [name]Juliette[/name], [name]Laila[/name] [name]Marielle[/name], or [name]Laila[/name] [name]Violet[/name]?
Good luck!

This should be interesting - also (not sure it matters, but): does your last name with a C start with a K or S or Ch sound?
[name]Jill[/name], [name]Laila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] is (still) on the list!
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Adele[/name] (made me think of a ladle).

Whoops! I totally missed that, [name]Karen[/name].
(Memo to self: [name]Do[/name] not post when you’re half asleep.)

[name]Laila[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Addison[/name]. (I think it’s too trendy and masculine paired with [name]Laila[/name], and it’s the name of a horrible adrenal disease, [name]Addison[/name]'s Disease.)
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Rae[/name] because, for me, it merged into one name and became Lailoray.

[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Anne[/name] - it melts together too much into one word, and also for recalling [name]Jack[/name] LaLanne. Sounds too much like LaLanne.

It’s a K sound…it’s Cunningham.
[quote=“karen”][name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Marie[/name], [name]Marie[/name] seems dated to me as a mn choice and I don’t like the flow of a long E ending with [name]Laila[/name], it’s too perky, [name]Laila[/name] seems more relaxed and sophisticated to me

[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Isobel[/name], mostly due to her initials being LIC. My dd intitials are SIT which is not a bad word at all, and she still got teased in 1st & 2nd grade (now we dont get monoagrams on backpacks etc) (PS love the name [name]Laila[/name]!)
ILaila [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Valerie[/name]. I don’t think the full name flows well.
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Mackenzie[/name] and [name]Laila[/name] [name]Mercedes[/name] (I just didn’t like them both, I hope that’s okay).
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Aislinn[/name]. [name]Aislinn[/name] just doesn”t flow well with [name]Laila[/name].
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Celeste[/name] because I want to lisp while saying it. I also took out a second if you don’t mind: [name]Laila[/name] [name]Opal[/name] because I have a hard time pronouncing the “O”.
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Mercy[/name]…[name]Mercy[/name] is now [name]WAY[/name] too [name]Madonna[/name] for my tastes…
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Danae[/name]
Personally my favorites are [name]Laila[/name] [name]Frances[/name] and [name]Laila[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
I love the name [name]Audrey[/name] but I took it off the list because the ‘a’ in [name]Laila[/name] runs right in the ‘a’ in [name]Audrey[/name]. The flow was a little awkward.
[name]Laila[/name] is a beautiful name- congrats on your little one.
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Laila[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
I took out three, hope that’s alright! [name]Laila[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Laila[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] because all the l’s and e’s and a’s were too confusing, and [name]Laila[/name] [name]Rose[/name] b/c [name]Rose[/name] is way too popular a middle name. (I know a baby girl named [name]KAYLA[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! And three others w/ middle name [name]Rose[/name] besides…) You have a ton of great ideas here so it’s tough to pick a favorite…congratulations and good luck!

[name]Laila[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
I took out [name]Laila[/name] [name]Jean[/name]. I like [name]Jean[/name] or [name]Jeanne[/name] for a middle name, but that seems like a full front two-name name, “[name]Laila[/name] [name]Jean[/name],” goes with sibling [name]Lurline[/name] and [name]Bobbi[/name] [name]Jo[/name] and [name]Jim[/name] [name]Bob[/name].
I took out [name]Leila[/name] [name]Elise[/name], because the a and e run together too much.
