:D ME TOO!!! I want to name my 1st daughter "Manika"...eventhough for some reason people can never seem to pronounce it correctly. i've been called everything from Monica to mannequin. :rolleyes:

I also like these names:

Girls: Makina (means happy)
Karlin
Madyson
Mackenzie
Mirra
Sydney

Boys: Malachi
Micha
Raymon (after my grandaddy)
Stacey
Ashley (great-grandaddy's middle name)
Myles
Matthew Germond (my brother's 1st name and my middle)

as y'all can see...i really like "m" names!!! now i just have to get over the fear of giving birth and i'll be good to go.

I'm Lay-lah. :D

Epitome,
I like your name. I have often thought of naming my future daughter Laila. Is your name often misspelled or mispronounced? If so, how is it misspelled? I ask b/c I would like to spell her name the way that will give her the least trouble (coming from someone who always has to spell her first and last names or else they will be misspelled). If your name was spelled Leilah (which is the spelling that I prefer) do you think that it would be mispronounced? Do you see this alternate spelling for your name?
