Laila
Not Leila but Laila, which I would pronounce lah-EE-lah (which becomes lye-EE-lah in my accent when it's said quickly, btw). What do you think of it? Do you think it'd be a viable name? And any MN ideas? So far, I've thought of:Laila Rae
Laila Catherine (ka-TREEN in this case)
Laila Hazel
Katharine Laila "Kitty" (and it'd just be the usual English prn. of Katharine in this case)but other ideas would be most welcome--particularly odder ones. :) Thanks!Array

in german this is pronounced "lie-lah", but it doesn't have the same stress as you want it. Stressing the "i" is a bit weird to me, since I'm used to saying "lie-lah" :)

Laila Rae - love Rae but this combo is tricky for me to say for some reason.
Laila Catherine - like this a lot.
Laila Hazel - kind of l'y but nice and I adore Hazel.
Katharine Laila "Kitty" - this is my favorite! So cute!Laila is fine but nms, I prefer Leia. I think you could have problems with the lah-EE-lah pro. though a lot of people might pro. it LAY-luh. That's why I like it best as a mn in your Katharine combo.

I think it's nice in theory, but would probably get confused with Lila or Layla a lot. No combo inspiration, sorry.

It's pretty (a Greek name, right?). The problem is that she might be called Lala, Leila or Lara a lot of the time.The mn I like best is Hazel
