I think this is a great name, very pretty and feminine and not overly used.

I like this name because it's unusual and not a name that you hear often.

Shayla is my best friend's name. I think that name is very pretty. It's an unique name. Shayla sounds very girlie and cute.

Very pretty name, I know of one girl in my son's grade 1 class named Shayla.

I have also read that Shayla could be a Gaelic name meaning "From the fairy place," which I really like. I think this is a sweet name! :)

Really pretty name.

Ugh, while the name Shaelyn sounds pretty against all odds, this name sounds harsh, tacky, and somewhat too youthful. It's funny what a small difference in sound can do.

I named my daughter, Shayla, in 1981. I got the idea from an Ebony Fashion Fair model/commentator, named Shayla, during the 1970s. Also, Shayla rhymes with her mother's name, Gala.

The name Shayla in my opinion is elegant and sophisticated, but fun at the same time. I really like this name!

I read a book where one of the character's names was Shay, and I loved the name. In Spanish class one day, my teacher (who speaks with an accent) pronounced the name Sheila (which is okay, but not really my taste) as Shayla. I loved the name immediately.

My name is pronounced this way, though it is spelled as "Shailah." I think it's a rather pretty name, if I do say so myself.

This name is really pretty!

Ugly, trashy, and juvenile. Just name your daughter Sheila or Kayla instead of smushing them together!
-- bananarama  10/30/2009
This name is really nice and sweet, and I think of a beautiful woman when I hear this name.

Shayla is Charlotte's "future baby name" on Sex and The City (season 1, episode 10).

I have mixed feeling about this name. It's very juvenile and a little harsh sounding. But pretty. It seems as if everyone has different opinions so if you want to use this name, and you like it, I'd say go right ahead. (:
