My name is Keila too. I hate it when people say my name wrong. I'm 13 and when we had a substitute and he pronounced my name "Keelia" I got kind of angry and he told me that I should have a regular spelling like everyone else named Kayla in my school. I love the way my name is spelled because its really pretty and my Mom wanted to be different. I love my Mom!

My name's Keila. A LOT of people pronounce it in different ways. The correct way is 'Kayla'... but a lot of people say 'Kyla' or 'Keela'... so many people call me 'Keela' that It's one of my nicknames now! Although It's a very different name, I love it.. and I wouldn't change it if I had the chance. I don't know anybody else with this name, but I guess a lot of people do!

My name is Keila. Taquila without the Ta (Ta-Keila)! I am 28, 86' baby! I absolutely love my name! People usually pronounce it wrong I think It's hilarious, yet I also have a difficult last name! i've only heard of another girl with my name, never met one! I'm glad It's not popular, It's the whole reason I enjoy it because of the uniqueness! It's what makes me, ME! Im glad to see there are a few of us out there! Rock on "Keila's", be strong! <3

I have found meanings, lively, aggressive; pure; slender, fair; glorious chief; town in Judah; who is like God❤️ It'seems to be confusing as to where it came from and everyone has their own opinion. I actually didn't get the name from anywhere when I named my daughter. I just sort of made it up and then checked to see if it was a real name already being used. I have found it pronounced Kay-lah, and Kee-lah. I like Kee-lah, and that's what I use for my daughter. I know too many people who have a name pronounced Kay-lah, regardless of how It's spelled. But I have my reasons for why I like it pronounced that way.

My name is Keila as well. People have trouble saying it, but It's pronounced as Kayla. It's origin is Hebrew. My mom got it from the Bible (Joshua 15:44). Though the English version has it as Keilah, but the'spanish version has Keila. Anywho, the meaning to it is 'fortaleza' which is strenght in spanish. Oh and I love my name too! :)

Hate to break it to some of you but Keila is a Hebrew orgin name and the only meaning is that it was a city from the Kingdom of Judah. I fell in love with that name along with Tekoa which is currently my daughter's name but if God bless me with another her name'shall definitely be Keila (Keylah)...I wasn't sure how to pronouce it at first I even went as far as Ke I Lah. I'm glad to have found this page for I feel more confident in naming my child this. Although I'm a tad bit disappointed that It's more common than I thought!

My name Keila is pronounced as it is spelt, not Kayla but Keila. Most persons who hear the name for the first time, pronounce it incorrectly as Kayla or Keilia or Kaylia. It was actually suppose to have been a very unique name as I beli've my mother thought she made it up. Just recently I discovered that it actually had meaning and many more people have the name.

My name is Keila and I am 14 years old. You say my name like Kayla but it is always mispronounced. It can be very frustrating because even if I have known people for a really long time they will take one look at my name and think that they have been saying it wrong all along. People always ask me where I come from or where my parents are from. Even my teache's will say and spell my name wrong all year. But the one thing that I love about my name is that no one else has it and thats its very unique. My parents loved the name Kayla and when'they went to hawaii they saw the name Leila and new it would be inter'sting to merge the two names. I would highly recommend that you use this name because it is one that repreasents beauty and individualI'm. And even'though no one else has this name I feel extremely special.

I used to hate it and wanted to be a Rachel or Rebeka. But over the years i've been asking people if they had never met me what they would think my name was, and almost all of them say Keila. Anyone with the name Keila is blessed with a unique name that will give them happiness and luck if pronounced correctly. -Love, Keila
