Help[Opinions] Re: Ayla
in reply to a message by Perrine
Well, I think it's pretty but it feels incomplete when you consider how well-known names like Layla and Kayla are. It needs a little something.
I think the Turkish pronunciation is nice enough but it's not very practical for non-Turkish people; you can't expect them to know it's "Eye-La" without being told.
The Ay-la pronunciation is also nice, but like I said, feels lacking. If people are familiar with the Earth's Children series, they'll recognize Ayla as one of the main characters, and as I recall, in the first book of the series, the name's pronunciation isspecifically stated as the closest the Neanderthals could come to Ayla's actual name.
We don't need to set the sky on fire. A little glow will do just fine.
