Ella, Lila, Layla or Annaleise???

**imogensmummy2005** · 04-10-2006 22:06

Hi Everyone
I'm having a really hard time with choosing names- i keep picking my fave then changing my mind, my DP is no help either because he just says they are all 'ok', and basically leaves me with the decision.

I'm down to 4 names - Ella, Lila (pronounced Lie-la), Layla and Annaleise. The middle name will definately be Ruby, no matter which first name i go with.

What are everyones thoughts on my names? Is Lila better spelt this way, or Lilla, or Leila? I'll include a poll, but please give me feedback as well.

Thanks heaps
Erin

I love the name Ella.. such a sweet name for a girl

**luckytiger** · 04-10-2006 22:23

I like the name Layla Ruby most....

**Funkychicken** · 04-10-2006 22:23

Obviously I am an admirer of the name Ella!

I also love Lila and layla. we have a little girl in kinder (who is just beautiful too!) and her name is Lei-ella. It is pronounced Lay-ella and it is such a sweet name.

I voted Annaleise, Ella is really popular now, and I don't like Layla. Lila is really cute, but I did not choose it because Lily/Lilly are also so popular.

lol I agree with cupcake, adding the extra L to Lila hits too close to home

I'm going to be major "so didn't need your input" person and say COMBINE THEM ALL!!! lol I thought of...
Eleinna, Elaynna( E-Lay-Na)
Elleanna (Ely-Anna)
Elleise
Lilella (ok thats just a cruel mouthful lol)

Ok, if that doesn't tickle your fancy, I personally like Elle Lila (I'm singing Layla and have a picture of 'back-in-sack' Brekenseck sp??) but that's just me - when ur girl goes to school these will be far distant memories for the old and grey!!! lol

I dont really like Annaleise or Layla, but I love Ella and especially Lila/Lilla very cute names!

I love Ella. Its on our girls shortlist.

I really like Layla too, but Ella is definately my favourite.

Good luck deciding!

I like Ella and Annaliese the best.

what about Elise Ruby?

clearly i love the name ella

however my DD is actually named Amiella (pronounced like Amy ella) but we always call her ella

we did this for a couple of reasons....ella is becomming a very popular name so she can be called Amiella at school if there are to many ella's

also i loved the name amilia so i put the two toghether

she can also choose when she's older what she likes best
