Help[Opinions] Twyla / Twila
Twyla / Twila
Just discovered this name and really like it. Want it pronounced
TWIE lah not TWILL ah. I think Twyla is the best way to get this pronunciation but Twila looks best to me.
What do you all think of the name? Need a middle name that will lean it in the classy sophisticated direction not the nature and moonbeams direction, but I really want a floral name.
Does Twyla Marguerite accomplish what I want?
Thanks for reading if you read through all of that.

Twyla!
I completely love this name, and prefer the y spelling. I'd forgotten about it until reading this post! I like the fact that it has both a country charm, and a classy edge (mostly because of Twyla Tharp).
Twyla Marguerite is very pretty. I have a soft spot for Marguerite, as it is my grandmother's MN. I think the combo definitely accomplished what you're looking for.
Do you like any of these combos?
Twyla Chrysanthe
Twyla Jessamine
Twyla Linnea
Twyla Amarantha
Twyla Celandine
Twyla Calanthe
Twyla Fleurette
Twyla Rosalind
Twyla Rosamund

You're very welcome! Twyla Jasmine would be very pretty, too. Twyla Chrysanthe is my favourite of my suggestions.
Rosaire is lovely; this is the first time I've seen it.

Technically it's masculine and means rosary which translates to "garland of roses" ... so it was a stretch but I love it anyway. When I google it, there are women carrying it as first names as well.

Interesting. Thanks for teaching me a new name!
This is a bit OT, but I checked out your PNL and I'm a fan of your style overall.

The picture of a ballet choreographer like Twyla Tharp makes me like the name. I'd go with this spelling since it's the one most people would have seen. Twyla Marguerite is very nice.
Twyla Frances
Twyla Meadow
Twyla Rosalind / Rosalie
Twyla Sophie
Twyla Celeste (celestial twilight)
Twyla Aurore (twilight + dawn)
Twyla Estelle (starry twilight)
Twyla Felicity
Twyla Aurelie (golden twilight)
Twyla Floris
Twyla Phyllis
Twyla Sylvie (twilight in the forest)
Floral names aren't easy for me, sorry.

I think it sounds like the name of a country western singer... or a "cowgirl" (ranch hand girl).
I think the Twyla is the better spelling.
And yes, I think that you should have a very classic mn to dress it up.
Twyla Marguerite is ok. I like Marguerite.

Country western huh? Interesting.

I love Twyla (the spelling Twila doesn't do anything for me).
Twyla Marguerite is pretty enough. I don't think that Twyla sounds nature-moonbeams, so I'm not sure why you're worried, but on the off-chance you want some other floral/vaguely plant-y names, here are a few ideas:
Twyla Veronica
Twyla Amandine
Twyla Bellflower
Twyla Linnea
Twyla Daisy
Twyla Lily (Twyla Daylily would be my own preference here)
Twyla Hazel
Twyla Jonquil
Twyla Jessamine
Twyla Larkspur
Twyla Amaryllis
Twyla Lucerne
Twyla Saffron
Twyla Myrtle
Twyla Pansy
Twyla Primrose
Twyla Rosemary
Twyla Rose
Twyla Rue
Twyla Valériane
Twyla Verbena
Twyla Vervain
Twyla Marigold
Twyla Anemone
Twyla Florence
