I like Haila the best.

Sounds nicer then Hailey though I’m having trouble finding it in my name resources. Haila looks better IMO but Hayla may be easier to pronounce (e.g. Haila: hail-la or hay-la, Hayla: hay-la). Lovely name either way.

Haila is originally Arabic (Oman/Yemen region). Very old and rare name. It means "something amazing" or "amazing gift" and people named Haila are always said to have big and unique personalities. Full of life and amazement. I spelt my daughters name Heyla because it is the exact pronounciation from the Arabic spelling.

I like the spelling of Haila more but some people spell it like Hailah or Haylah. My name is Hayla but I’m thinking of changing it to Khadija.

We are going to name our daughter Haila.
Her father comes from Haiti and we like that the way the name sounds, and that it's feminine. I have some Arabic ancestry in my side of the family. I think it's a beautiful and unique name.

My name is Haila and I have always loved it. It comes from the Hebrew word Chaya and it means "life".

My dear Mama's name was Haila. I have never heard of anyone having that name. It's a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. I know your little Haila/Hayla will be the same.
