I have absolutely fell in love with the name Nayleigh for one of my twins and was just wondering what people thought of it. Also her middle name has to be an origin of [name]Ann[/name] ([name]Ann[/name], [name]Anne[/name], ect). What combo do you like the best? … I plan on naming her twin brother [name]Leyland[/name] [name]James[/name]/[name]Jamie[/name]/[name]Jameson[/name], do you think the names work well together for twins?
It looks made up…I really really dislike leyland too…it is totally nms .it sounds like an old man
[name]Leyland[/name] & Nayleigh - No I don’t think it works.
I find the -y in [name]Leyland[/name] unnecessary. [name]Leland[/name] would be easier for people to pronounce and spell. [name]Leland[/name] [name]James[/name] is OK though.
Nayleigh I find weird. Reminds me of Nails. I don’t really like it and it seems completely wrong with an old, vintage name like [name]Leland[/name].
I vote “nay” on Nayleigh.
I don’t like -leigh endings on girls’ names, without a single positive exception I can think of at the moment. I’m unfamiliar with Nayleigh so possibly it has some gorgeous bit of history attached to it, but to the uninformed like myself, Nayleigh looks a lot like another station for the [name]Hayleigh[/name]/[name]Bayleigh[/name]/[name]Kaylee[/name]/[name]Kayleigh[/name]/[name]Kinsley[/name] train, every stop of which is NMS.
And Nayleigh and [name]Leyland[/name] look weird together for twins, to me. Looks oddly like a failed anagram.
But, I must say, I find [name]Leland[/name] interesting/attractive.
[name]Leland[/name] [name]James[/name] is a great name for a boy. I agree on the idea of dropping the ‘y’, no need to add an unnecessary ‘y’ to an already timeless/classic name.
But I strongly dislike the name Nayleigh. It looks very made up. And looks way trendy in a way I don’t appreciate. I also think a classic name like [name]Leland[/name] and a trendy looking name like Nayleigh don’t work together at all.
I agree with dropping the “y” and just spelling it [name]Leland[/name].
Nayleigh looks made up. I know [name]Katherine[/name] Heigl nicknamed her daughter this but it’s a nn for [name]Nancy[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]. Her daughter can go back to [name]Nancy[/name] once she out grows Nayleigh. Maybe you could come up with a combo like that?
[name]Nadine[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Nadia[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Naia[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]
Nayleigh makes me think of [name]Katherine[/name] Heigl’s daughter, though in that instance it’s a nickname rather than her given name. It also makes me think “nail.” I can’t say that I really like it. What about [name]Neely[/name], [name]Niley[/name], or [name]Neilia[/name]? They’re very similar in sound and similarly uncommon.
I’m going to disagree with previous posters who don’t like the Y in [name]Leyland[/name]. I think that spelling is fine. If you’re pronouncing in lay-land I think it helps to clear up the pronunciation, because I know of instances where [name]Leland[/name] is pronounced lee-land. I like [name]James[/name] the best in the middle spot.
Nayleigh makes me think two things: Made up and trendy.
For someone with auditory processing disorder, the -aylee names sound the same to me when heard, so because of the trendiness and abundance of Haileys, Kaylees and Baileys, I would never name a child an -aylee name. But that’s just me, of course, but it does cause problems if you only catch the -aylee.
With [name]Leyland[/name], Nayleigh is totally out there and the names don’t match at all. Now, I advise against a [name]Leyland[/name] and [name]Layla[/name], but twin names shouldn’t be just thrown together.
Here are some suggestions with names that have the same vintage/old fashioned feel as [name]Leyland[/name]:
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Zenobia[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Cornelia[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Lavinia[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Marian[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
Eh, it looks made up. It sounds nice, but looks made up. And I think you should drop the “Y” in [name]Leyland[/name], and just spell it [name]Leland[/name]. I love the name [name]Leland[/name], but not with an unnecessary “Y”. Plus, Nayleigh and [name]Leland[/name] is kind of hard to say, because of the ending “[name]Lee[/name]” sound in Nayleigh and the beginning “[name]Lee[/name]” sound in [name]Leland[/name]. But, if you want a “-leigh” name for your daughter, maybe [name]Hayleigh[/name] could work.
I love the N_______ [name]Leigh[/name] suggestion to get to Nayleigh or Naliegh! Great way to give your daughter a cutesy, different & trendy name with a classic name to fall back on
[name]Natalia[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Natasha[/name]
[name]Nadia[/name]
[name]Nadine[/name]
[name]Noreen[/name]
[name]Nell[/name]
[name]Nancy[/name]- version of [name]Anne[/name]
Also agree that [name]Leland[/name] is so much better than [name]Leyland[/name].
[name]Leland[/name] [name]James[/name] is very handsome but Naleigh is horrible.
What about [name]Nahla[/name]?
