Comments for the name Tayla

I like this name for a girl, I have a cousin named Taylah, the spelling Tayla or Taylah makes it more feminine (although I only like Taylor for a girl too). :)

I LOVE this name. Except I prefer it to be spelt 'Taylah', I think that way is more cute and interesting.

A famous bearer of this name is Tayla Lynn. She's Loretta Lynn's granddaughter and is following the family tradition (ie becomin' a singer). I was fortunate enough to see Tayla on tour with Loretta. Tayla sings/wrote a song called "Coal Dust in My Veins"--which is about her heritage and how that's influenced her life.

The name is Taylor, pronounced Tayla by people who can't speak English. If you want to name your kid Taylor, go ahead. If you want to name your kid Kayla, same. Don't try to mix them together people.

Well, it rather does sound like the New York Jew or ghetto pronunciation of Taylor. Plus, it sounds too much like the hideous and overly youthful Kayla.

Taylor is so much better in my opinion. This looks too much like a Kayla knock-off.

Taylor is stupid enough, but Tayla sounds even worse. It looks like the nauseatingly trendy names Taylor and Kayla were smushed together. Tayla also looks babyish and won't age well.

This sounds like how Woody Allen would pronounce Taylor in "Annie Hall". (To coincide with slight_night_shiver's comment.)

There was a character named Teyla on Stargate: Atlantis, pronounced the same as Tayla.

It should be pointed out that in Australia and most of England, where the accent is "non-rhotic", Tayla and Taylor have identical pronunciations.

Yes, in the vast majority of British accents, Tayla and Taylor sound exactly the same.

In my accent Taylor and Tayla sound the same and Tayla is more common than Taylor. I prefer this spelling as it looks more feminine though I hate the Taylah spelling.

There is a model named Tayla Collins and a country singer named Tayla Blue.

My name is Tayla and I've always liked my name (not just because it's mine). I've never understood why people think that it is a ghetto or black name. I've known of more white people that have the name. I also don't understand why it is so hard for people to pronounce. I've have one teacher call me Tyler. It's really common for other people to call me Taylor, Kayla, Tilya, or Taya. I don't see how it's any different from names like Kayla, Layla, Shayla, Jayla, Skyla, Shyla, or Michayla/Michaela. Overall I think it's a cute and simple name. Many people tell me it's beautiful and some of my friends say it is the black version of Taylor. And I personally don't like the 'Taylah' spelling, but it's a sort of cute for like a little girl.

This sounds like a made up name given by a teen parent. So uneducated and trashy, even worse than naming a girl Taylor! (Which is pretty bad) come on people, there are plenty of perfectly good, mature, real names out there, there's gotta be at least one you like!
