What do you think of Neila/ Neala?

[Starfish]

DH and I both like the name Neila (Nee-laa) for a girl. Can also be spelled Neala. Do you like it? Which spelling do you like best 'Neila' or 'Neala'.
Thanks!

It is very unusual, not sure if I like it. But I can say that I would only pronounce it 'Nee-laa' if it was spelt Neala.

I agree with above post. xx

Not very keen on it...

To be honest it's not to my taste. But then we're all different so if you both love it go for it! I prefer Neala spelling, looks more girly than Neila

was that the name of a character on ER? i like the name but would not be sure how to pronounce it if i read it

Not personally fond of it -- but if you & OH both love it -- go for it! I would probably pronounce both spellings "Neal-Uh". I think the only way i would pronounce it correctly is if it was spelled Neela. How about Nina or Nala/Nalla?

I love it!

I like it! But def spelling Neala or Neela to make it more feminine
