Definitely Leila. It's pretty, has a nice meaning, and is easy without being too common.
Angeline sounds okay but it's too close to very dated Gen X names like Angela and Angelina.ETA: since people are mentioning Layla, I'll throw in my thoughts on that: Layla looks to young and frivolous to me, Leila still looks young but it ages well and seems more put-together and quietly confident.

LeilaWe had this on our longer list. I really like it. Angeline has a more bland feel to it.

LeilaI like "lay-luh" a lot, although I'd rather spell it Layla or Leyla for the that pronunciation. My instinct is to rhyme Leila with Sheila.Angelina is ok but seems kind of too meek (compared to Angela, Angelica, Angelique, Evangeline).

I like both. However, something does feel awkward about Angeline. It feels incomplete, so I think I would prefer Evangeline, or Angelina.

Leila is gorgeous! Angeline is too old and nasally.

IRL I'd avoid them both. Hypothetically, I'd take Angeline, because there is only one pronunciation, or I hope there is!

I think the prn of Leila is confusing (lay-la/lie-la). My initial response it that it's prn lie-la. However despite the above I prefer the name Angeline. It's sounds very pretty and sophisticated. I know many Leila/Layla/Lila's and it's just blah.

Definitely Leila, I prefer the spelling Layla but Leila is very nice too.Angeline is rather blah to me. Angelina or Angela are a bit better.
