This is hard, I like the name [name]Laila[/name], but I think [name]Indiana[/name] sounds better with your last name. I voted for [name]Indiana[/name]. I don’t like [name]Ella[/name] very much and I think it sounds odd with your last name. Have you considered longer names that make the nickname [name]Ella[/name]? I think a longer, 3 syllable name will sound best with your last name. There are lots of other posts about names that make the nickname [name]Ella[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name] that you can look up.
[name]Hi[/name]!
My favorite of the names is [name]Laila[/name], though I worry it is on its way up, and I prefer the [name]Leila[/name] spelling by far. [name]Indiana[/name], to me, is not a name - I live close to [name]Indiana[/name] and the state is all I can think of! [name]Ella[/name], to me, is incomplete. [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Isabella[/name], [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Gabriella[/name], [name]Fiorella[/name] or something would be more appealing to my personal taste, but [name]Ella[/name] will still be popular. So, [name]Laila[/name] - [name]Leila[/name] - is my favorite, but I agree with the first poster that [name]Indiana[/name] sounds better with your last name.
Here are some alternatives:
[name]Laila[/name] - [name]Lainey[/name], [name]Laura[/name], [name]Lana[/name], [name]Alana[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Indiana[/name] - [name]India[/name], [name]Idina[/name], [name]Indira[/name], [name]Adira[/name], Adiya
[name]Ella[/name] - [name]Ellery[/name], Eilley, [name]Isla[/name], [name]Ayla[/name], [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Ava[/name], [name]Uma[/name]
For what its worth, I love [name]Laura[/name] Sayle, [name]Alana[/name] Sayle, [name]Idina[/name] Sayle (so cool!), [name]Adira[/name] Sayle, [name]Ellery[/name] Sayle, and [name]Fiona[/name] Sayle most!
Take care,
[name]Lemon[/name] 
[name]Leila[/name] and [name]Layla[/name] are the most common spellings for the name. I think [name]Laila[/name] would cause confusion. I prefer [name]Leila[/name].
[name]Laila[/name] - a pretty name, but getting very popular.
[name]Indiana[/name] - I think this one is a great, unusual choice with a lot of spunk and the cute nn [name]Indie[/name]. [name]India[/name] is also a great choice.
[name]Ella[/name] - this one has a lovely, soft sound, but is popular. As I think [name]Lemon[/name] mentioned, there are a lot of great names you could use to get [name]Ella[/name] as a nn, which may partly solve the popularity issue.
[name]Indiana[/name] gets my vote, followed by [name]Ella[/name].
Good luck!
[name]Leila[/name] is my old #2 name, probably still is, but not with your last name. In your case, I say [name]Indiana[/name], and then ask with interest why you chose that name.
