Personal experiences with the name Lyla: | Edit

My name is Lyla. Whenever someone asks my name and I tell them, they always say "That's a pretty name!" Or "that's beautiful." I never found it so special myself, but apparently, everyone likes it. Though, it is a pretty unique name. I have not met anyone in person with the name Lyla, let alone the same spelling. I like that, though, because it makes me feel special. However, when I was younger I remember always getting upset because they never had necklaces or mugs with my name on it, and now I think: Who care? Who wants to be like everybody else?
The odd person would pronounce it wrong, but now they almost never do.
I really like this name, but someimes the spelling is a little awkard. I sort of like the spelling "Lila" better, but they have the same pronunciation.
I definitely recommond this name for a nice, youthful family!

Nicknames for Lyla: | Edit
