Comment left Apr 13, 2012: "my daughters name is Laila Rain. So happy to see another person in the universe thought that Laila Rain was a beautiful name too" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 13, 2011: "My mom spelled my name Lila, and it was totally unique until I was an adult. The meaning I have found and like most is "gentle night," reminding me of a quiet, beautiful, starry night. I am serene and peaceful, so this fits me. I did not know that it is also an Hebrew derivation; I like that as I am fair with green eyes, and appreciate the Hebrew people. I like the Persian connection as well because of the legendary version of a similar "Romeo and Juliet" story, and the fact that is has been a conversation starter with many from that part of the world."

Comment left Dec 10, 2010: "My name's Laila, and I always get complemented on it. I find the meaning of it to be so romantic also, though I've heard variations (bright night, nightfall, night beauty), they all sound wonderful! I love my name :P" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 27, 2010: "I love my name and I get compliments on it all the time. I love that it's simple and unique. It's spelled Leila and pronunced lay-la. My mom loves Eric Claptons song "Layla" and that's how she got my name. since I'm from Hawaii she spelled it Leila cause it looks more Hawaiian." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 13, 2010: "My daughter's name is Laila (lay-lah) Elise. People always coment on how beautiful her name is. I didnt think the name was all that popular until I registered her for day care and there were two other children with the same name, one spelled Laila and the other spelled Leila. I love this name and am so glad I chose it for my beautiful daughter :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 24, 2009: "My name is Layla. I am over 50 and have not met many others with my name although in the past 15 years I hear mothers calling "Layla" in stores and it always surprises me. Arabic or Persian people are always surprised that a fair skinned, blonde American, is named Layla, as if they own the name or something. All in all I absolutely love my name and am grateful that my parents named me such a beautiful name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 07, 2009: "I love writing stroies i have ever since i was a little girl. When i was young i used to call most of my main characters Laila (LAY-LUH). Ought it to be pronounced LAYla or LIEla or LEEla?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 28, 2009: "I love this name!! I am planning on naming my daughter due in august Layla Rain. My mother in law HATES it, she thinks the meaning is dark which equals sin. But I just love it. Its free spirited and feminine" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 17, 2009: "My first/ middle name is Laila Aleida. I love my name .. it couldn't have been more perfect. A lot of people comment on how well it suites me. Although I am planning on changing the spelling of my first name once i've adopted the stage name to, "Layla". Reason is because i've noticed most people assume it's pronounced as Layla. And it is, but some may also pronounce it as Lie-luh, which is what im more used to being called as. It's a beautiful name and I don't seem to share it with a lot of my classmates .. which is actually a good thing :) Shout out to all the Laila's/Leila's/Layla's/etc out there ! muah ."

Comment left May 26, 2008: "My name is Leila and its spelt differently. A lot of people mis pronounce it and it's not a name you hear everyday so thats a good thing. Another little thing is that i am Arabic, my dad resides from Iraq and my mom is Canadian. So there is another reason why i was named Leila. I love my name!! :)" (Report as inappropriate)
