I called my daughter Aela pronounced Ay-la. I'm interested to know if Aella is pronounced similarly. Aela has Celtic origins and means angel or messenger or another meaning can be angle rocks or rampart- so random! There is an Irish/Gaelic version pronounced the exact same Eala (ay-la) meaning Swan in Irish which is another beautiful meaning.
Pronounced AY-la (AY as in bay), like Kayla without the K. I like this a lot more then either Kayla or Ella. Variants include Ael (AYL, masculine), Aelle (AY-el), Aellia (AY-lee-ah), Aelliana (AY-lee-ah-na). Personally, I dislike Aellia and Aelliana because they sound a lot like "Alien."
