Leilani vs. Leila vs. Leia
What are your thoughts on these names? Do the double Ls make them tongue-twister names? Leilani is prn "lay-LAH-nee" and is Hawaiian. It means "heavenly blossom." Leila is prn "LAY-luh" and is Persian. It means "dark-haired beauty" and "night." Leia is prn "LAY-uh" (like star wars) and is Hebrew. It means "weary." I don’t care too much about the origins/meanings, but thought I’d add them in. Thanks for your help!!

I felt Leila Lafferty was the least of the tongue twisters. Beautiful names though. Might have to see your baby to decide which fits her best!

Do you like the name Lelia? It is my sister’s name and is Irish. (LEE-lee-uh)

First poster, thank you. I worry so much about the names being tongue-twisterish...I mean, it keeps me up at night! LOL!
We like Lincoln for a boy...I’m just so nervous that the double Ls are going to cause issues. Although, my name starts with an L and it doesn’t sound too bad (but, I married into the last name so I really didn’t have a choice!).
Yes, I’m well aware that I am rambling! Sorry.
Second poster, thanks for the suggestion, but I prefer the "lay" sound to the "lee" sound :)

Thanks 4th poster! I like them all. Leilani is a bit more exotic while Leila is a bit more elegant/timeless. Leia is probably my least favorite, but I like it b/c it only has one L as opposed to 2.
I’m glad you don’t think it’s tongue-twisterish. I just imagine people seeing/hearing the names and thinking "wtf were his/her parents thinking?!?!?"
Fifth poster, that’s a cute name :)
