Hi Berries!
Like the title says, Im wondering what you guys think about Lailan? Its a name that’s on my shortlist for boys. It’s a unisex Arabic name that means 2 nights (pronounce LAY-lan). I think its a nice masculine leaning alternative for the super popular [name_f]Leila[/name_f]/Laila/Layla.
Im worried about pronunciation though, how you guys would pronounce it at first glance, LIE-lan or LAY-lan. And which pronunciation do you prefer?
I’d pronouce it [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-lan at first glance. It’s intriguing and I enjoy the sounds!
I think it’s cool! I would pronounce it LIE-lahn at first glance, but LAY-lan would be an easy correction.
I pronounced it LAY-lan when I saw it first.
I like it!!
I pronounced it [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-lan when I first saw it. I prefer that pronunciation, although both are nice
I like Lailan a lot! I think it’s really cute, and definitely usable despite being uncommon :))
I pronounced it lay-lan when I read it! I think it’s such a handsome, lovely name. I’ve never heard of it before, but I love [name_f]Laila[/name_f], and think this is a really beautiful masculine alternative! It has such a nice sound to it, I really like it. It seems like the type of name to constantly get compliments 
Right now it looks like a girls name – [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]? [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]? [name_f]Leila[/name_f]? [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] / [name_f]Kaila[/name_f] ?
I think the spelling is problematic but easily fixed by making its spelling closer in line with more familiar names with similar pronunciations, like:
I’d suggest:
Lailan is very cool–a nice mix of bright and gentle sounds. I didn’t know how to pronounce it before I opened the thread, but I think I would’ve guessed LIE-lan; it’s definitely an easy correction, though!
The automatic pronunciation is Lie-lan for me. But I prefer [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-lan more 
I’d say [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-lan It’s intriguing!
I like it! I would say [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-lan
