Opinions on baby girls name..

[jc_007]

Ok so my girl and I have picked out a name and would just like some feedback on the name...Her name will be Jaiyla J'Lea...what are yalls opinions on the name?

I think Jaiyla and J'Lea sound too similar to go together.

If you want Jaiyla so be pronounced 'jay-la,' then I would spell it that way. Three vowels in a row (AIY) is really confusing, and the Jail bit makes me think of jail.

The middle name rhymes with the first-- do you want them to be really similar? I don't like apostrophes in the middle of the name, I would rather spell out the pronunciation. I think you probably want a really unique, really special, one-of-a-kind name for your daughter, which is very sweet. But the apostrophe is just confusing.

So I would pick Jayla, and maybe work on the middle to make it a little more distinct from Jayla.

Do you like:

Jacinda
Janavi
Jalandra
Julissa
Janelle
Jamiya
Janiah
Jasmina (so pretty!)
Javiera (like Xavier, but feminine)
Jeannique
Jessenia
Jillaine
Joelle
Johari
Jorelle
Josseline
Jovana
Jovienne
Justyna
Justice
Jyoti

I think they all sound great with Jayla, but I like Jayla Jasmina, Jayla Jovienne, and Jayla Jorelle a lot.

Any family you want to honor?

Btw it's nice to see a dad take such an interest in his little girls name. Best to you both and congrats on your daughter.

I think it looks ghetto to be perfectly honest. The spelling is over the top and does not follow the rules of phonetics. Is it supposed to be Jayla Jalia? If so, just spell it that way.

Funny how you said justice that is my girls last name...lol we were also just thinking Lea as her middle thats my girls middle name..She wanted something of her name in the babies name Jennifer lea justice is hers..any ideas would be great. She really likes jaylee as her first

[flick]

I think just Lea in the middle is a good idea, it's very pretty and straightforward. Jaylee is cute, but maybe TOO cute? Will age well? Are you set on a J name or are you open to anything?

[jc_007]

Had the same thoughts on jaylee that is why I ran jaiyla by her hmm but seems the spelling is frowned upon but I myself thought it look pretty spelt like that I mean it breaks down to jaala is where jaiyla came from..no not truly set our minds are open to any ideas

Have you checked out behindthename? It's a nice resource, I use it quite often.

Not knowing 100% what your style is, here are some suggestions:

Jael
Jalila - I've always loved this, it has such a pretty meaning "Exalted", and it also kind of has the "lea" / "lee" sound in it.
Jalena
Joselyn
Jyoti - I second this suggestion for you! It's got such an interesting spelling already without changing it, the meaning is beautiful "light" and the pronunciation is so pretty.(jyo-tee).I think Jyoti Lea would be incredible. (This is a Sanskrit name).

If you want to use Lea in the middle, Jaylee or Jayla might be a bit much. Do you like Jayne, Janie or Janelle? I really like Blade's suggestions of Joelle, Janiah or Jasmina for you.
What about:
Joelle Leanna
Janiah Lea
Jasmina Lea
Janelle Leah
Jayla Lane
Jaylee Lauren

Exotic J-names:
Jalia (clear - Arabic)
Jaya (victory - Sanskrit)
Jamila (beautiful - Arabic)
Juhi (a flower - Sanskrit origin, also the name of a Bollywood actress)
Junia (I know someone with this name)

Oh, by the way - Jyoti - suggested by Flick and Blade - is my name.
