Beautiful! I think when the T is capitalized it adds more cultural identity to the name. I also love that it has a distinct spelling and pronunciation from her ancestor Victoria.
I think this name has a lot of potential. Also, I don't think it's that dated.
It's fine, I just personally don't like the "toy" in there. Lakisha is prettier.
Toya already sounded tacky and unattractive. Adding a "la" to it makes it even worse.

I don't like this name. I just don't.
There were several thinly veiled racist comments about this name but I was unable to reply to them. I was ashamed that one of those people has my own name. Almost every name you can think of has admirers and haters. I think most names should be respected and not overcriticized as long as they're not Hitler. So you met one person with a name and you didn't like them. Don't hold that against all the other people who just happen to share that name.
I love this name. Latoya or "Toya" is a cute, spunky name that suits a woman with class, intelligence, positive energy and style.

I actually think this name is cute. "Toya" is too.

It's okay, but it's also unusual. It does have a ghetto vibe too.
In response to Francesca's comments- one of my favorite social workers was named LaToya. She was a beautiful, thoughtful older women who taught me a lot in the brief time I knew her. I'm sure she encountered plenty of discrimination because of her name, but she was a successful woman nonetheless.Besides- why does someone with a common "ghetto" (almost always means black) have to prove themselves as better than someone named Kaitlyn? Why have so little respect?And from what I've heard, Latoya does have an Arabic origin if you bother to look it up. But even if it had no meaning, that doesn't change anything.
I don't like prefixed names that much. I think if someone wants to name their kid this, they should write it as Latoya instead of LaToya.
My true dislike stems from the fact that it is a "kre8tiv" made up name. Which in turn means that it is fairly unintelligent in sound, unprofessional, uneducated, attempted ornate, pompous, and childish... among my personal opinion of "Ugly."
It is a failed venture of trying to appear "French." The addition of "La" to any given name immediately creates a trashy, tacky, and cheap appearance.
It certainly is not a name that will aid your child in the business world. A doctor by the name of LaToya Richards will not be hired as my heart surgeon. Nor would a LaToya Sparks be a favored lawyer in a case. Think of the whole picture, I beg."Will this name prove to be an added barrier, possibly wrongly denying my child a position in a company?" "How will the world see it?" "Will my child be the object of gradeschool mocking?" and, "Will I be thanked later in life for the name I chose?"
Replying to the negative comment up there about the name being ¨trashy¨ and the fact you will not have a doctor or lawyer with the name LaToya and all the negative things you said. You are the exact kind of person I am going to prove wrong in life. You are probably just a bitter person and mad at the world because your name is Francesca. If my name was that I would be bitter and negative at the world as well :(. Just because you have a basic name does not mean you can hate on the uniqueness and creativity of the name Latoya. Specifically my name. Best believe if I were to stoop to your level and bash your name you most definitely would not be happy with what I would have to say. Since I am not like and hopefully never will be like you I hope you have a great rest of your day.
Francesca, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with it. It is very ignorant but interesting to know people think like that. My name is La Toya. I'm educated and have a very well respected reputation. Is it really true that people will shoot down my resume because of my name even though I have much experience to bring to the table? I'm surprised by this.
Latoya comes from one of the nicknames for Victoria which is Toya. I like the name. My first name is Victoria. Latoya is not trashy, it comes from a name that is regal.
I think LaToya is a really pretty and unique name. I can't believe people hate it so much.
No offense, but it is really ugly.
Gaaaah, I HATE this name with a burning passion! It's hideously ugly and trashy! It's as if someone had wanted to call their daughter a toy and added a creepy ''ah'' to it.
I loathe this name. It just isn't appealing to me.
