Leila

• I like saying it; it leaves a very sweet taste in your mouth. It looks nice on paper, too.
• a Persian name meaning "night child."  A gorgeous, exotic name evoking images of rich fabrics and warm, sultry evenings.  
• I like Leila alot,because it means Dark Beauty. I changed my version and pronouce it 'Leal-ee-ah'.
• Leila Vega Kione: Leila means 'dark, beautiful,' Vega means 'falling star,' and Kione means 'one who comes from nowhere.' All together, the name means 'beautiful, dark star falling from nowhere.' I think it's just a gorgeous and mysterious sounding name, without being too out there.

In Arabic, Leila means "night." It is pronounced /LEE la/, /LAY la/ and /LY la/ in English, though it's the LAY la pronunciation that is closest to the original Arabic.
