Comment left Dec 28, 2008: "I love my name as well!! I spell it Twilah which does appear to be unique. I have always been told that with that spelling that my name was from a West Coast Indian Tribe that meant princess or goddess of love. It always made things interesting as a teenager when someone would ask me what my name meant! Since becoming an adult I have met a number of women with the name Twilah (different spellings of course) and we are all around the same age." (Report as inappropriate)

I like it because it is unique and people think they know me becaus ethey have heard of my name. I dont think I could be called anything else. People also ask me (if they do not see me) if I am African American because of the name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 07, 2008: "Twyla is our cat's name. She has extra toes in front, so she looked like she was wearing ballet slippers and standing in second position. Also she likes to stand on her back feet and can actually walk around that way. She looked like a dancer, so we named her for the choreographer Twyla Tharp. We don't have any regrets about her name, nor does Twyla. She is the only Twyla (canine or feline) on our Vet's register." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Apr 10, 2008: "This is my name, and people remember me because of how unique it is. I know of one other Twyla when I was growing up; I used to hate my name when I was a kid, I wanted to be Jennifer or Julie. I'm so happy I have the name I do now! People compliment it all the time. I'm happy to be Twyla." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 23, 2008: "I heard a woman on TV say that her name is Twyla and it is Indian and means flower. The web says it is English. There is another Twyla that lives about 20 miles from me and everyone thinks we are the same person because we look alike. I know of 6 Twyla's." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 28, 2007: "I used to hate my name because it is unusual, but I like it now for that very reason! I have met only 2-3 Twylas in my life and what a trip that was. Everyone seems to know a Twyla or 2. I always have to spell it for people and it's mispronounced about half the time." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 21, 2007: "Yes, my name is Twyla and I am very proud of my name, especially since my mother really liked it. I also find it interesting that people always tell me of someone else they know with my name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 11, 2007: "It's my name and I love it! People are starting to get the hang of it, after 43 years . My name is pronounced like twi-lah; I've met two other women with the same name. I read somewhere once that Twyla is an Old English name which means woven of two threads; it also has several African derivations in the Swahili and Zulu languages." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 29, 2007: "No, its not my name, but it is an old family name from centuries ago. There seemed to be a few girls named Twyla, and some called Thursa, in my mother's family. I think the last time was when two sisters were called Twyla and Thursa about two hundred years ago. I really like these names, but they seem to be very rare here in the UK.
Almost forgot...I worked with someone called Twyla years ago, but she hated it and called herself Charlie!" (Report as inappropriate)
