WDYTO Layla? I didn't like it particularly, but recently it's growing on me a lot. I love the fact it means the same thing in Arabic and Hebrew.
Is it nicer spelled Laila or Layla?

Also, I've recently encountered Merav (or Merab). I'm not sure if I like it or not. I find the meaning kinda dull.

#Layla #Merav

I prefer the spelling Leila, and the Hebrew pronunciation lyla ("night").
I love Leila and also love Merav. They are near the top of my PNL.
Leila Merav greatly appeals to me.

I LOVE Layla! That spellingis the one I wold favor, just because it's the one most familiar to me.

Merav/Merab leaves me completely cold. I just don't see any charm in any aspect of it.

Layla has a lovely sound and meaning. I prefer it spelled Leila.
Merav is okay, I neither like nor dislike it.
