Personal experiences with the name Kayla: | Edit

My name is Kayla, I am twenty years old and was named after the character on Days Of Our Lives. I love my name. It's pretty and sweet and in my opinion is very popular. Usually that's a downside but it's nice knowing most of the world loves your name. I would definitely recommend naming your child this. I also recommend trying new spellings for parents concerned with the popularity. Such as Kaelah or Kaylah.

I too was named after the character from Days Of Our Lives.

My name is Kayla, and I am 16 years old, and I am high honor student at South Milwaukee High School in South Milwaukee Wisconsin. I do share the name of Kayla with a lot of my friends, and I really enjoy it alot. I found one of my friends at a summer camp, and both look exactly alike, and we are now BFFs.
