Layla Eve is my front runner at the moment if we have a girl, and Maya is off the list as it's too confusing with my other names. Only problem is Layla might be a bit close to home (deciding if I can use). I love both these names and hoping someone might have some great suggestions that are a similar style. Eve will more than likely be the mn. Can you help? TIA This post has been edited by TarneeW: 09/01/2013, 12:22 PM

Michaela Eve? Amelia Eve? Is it the "A" ending that you actually like in the names? If you like Layla, but cant, what about Leila (lee-lah) or Lilah (Lie-lah)

I was going to suggest Lila, it's DD's name and one of my favorites Fifi has some wonderful suggestions, the only others I can think of are - Lucy Bonnie Scarlett Juliet Romy Eliza Elsie Isla Ruby Violet

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply and your suggestions, there are some lovely ideas! QUOTE (emlis22 @ 09/01/2013, 02:12 PM) I like Leila prn Leer-lah. Freja Lyla I thought Leila was another form of spelling for Layla (haven't heard If prn Leer-lah?! How so you prn Freja? As spelt or like Fre-ya? I think this is pretty Unfortunately Lyla is out QUOTE (BlueEyedBeauties @ 09/01/2013, 02:21 PM) Michaela Eve? Amelia Eve? Is it the "A" ending that you actually like in the names? If you like Layla, but cant, what about Leila (lee-lah) or Lilah (Lie-lah) My DD ends in 'A' so that maybe the case? I hadn't thought of that before.... I just instantly fell in love with Layla although Maya has been a name I regretted not using last time. For some reason I love them both - very pretty & feminine QUOTE (me3922 @ 09/01/2013, 02:28 PM) Taia/Taya For some reason I don't like as much as Maya but I don't know why?! Thank you anyway QUOTE (Magenta_ @ 09/01/13, 02:40 PM) Hi there, Some ideas that come to mind are: Luella Eve Lois Eva Allegra May Alexa Grace I really like the suggestion of Marla! Good luck! Magenta Luella is gorgeous and one to think about! I do like Allegra but DH doesn't! I have a Marley so Marla is definitely out....
