Help[Opinions] Re: Layla
in reply to a message by Bex
Sorry, I don't like the way it looks either. I wouldn't go so far as "trashy" or "visual diarrhea" (LOL) but it does look kind of sloppy .. and the word "lay," with its bawdiness, jumps out at me.
I automatically would spell LAY-la as Leila, and LEE-la as Leela, and Laila looks like LY-la (Lila, Lyla) to me. So I think you're being really unconventional if you're naming a character and folks will be getting the prn from just reading the name. If you are naming a real person, I don't think it matters and I'd suggest going with Laila if you don't care for Leila. Or perhaps Laela.
