Bad baby name

A girl I went to high school with named her baby Bayla.

So I guess when you can't decide between Bailey and Kayla, you go with Bayla!

    I have a friend with nearly 2-year-old twins, one of whom is named Bayla.  I tried to find her blog post on why she named her Bayla, but I can't seem to find it.  However, I remember it was to honor her mother.

  • I'm assuming your friend isn't Jewish?  It's usually spelled Baila, but it's a traditional Jewish girl's name.

    Not Jewish, so I don't know what their reasoning is.

  • Could she have meant it to be "dance" in Spanish? I'm not sure of the spelling, but it's pronounced like "Bye-la"

  • That's a Jewish name.

  • Well, as I said, they're not at all Jewish.

    And it's not actually any sort of form of the Jewish name. At the very best, it's a yooneek spelling.

    That would be "Bailar"

    Baila would mean he/she dances.  And is still a dumb name.
