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 names keila too! im 13 abd all my teache's say it wrong. we had this substitute called mr mc cabe and even'though he asked how to say my name he'still called me k-eye-lah. Well its actually Keelah. My mam always told me it was and Irish name because im from ireland and i live here too. Loadsa people love my name and after reading everyone elses comments i love it too :)I didnt ever know anyone else called keila even'though its irish.
My name is keila as well. Is was to be kiela. But my mom misspelled it... She pronounced it kyla but I'm called keela. I don't even bother correcting anyone now. Lol
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 and nobody EVER pronounces it right! At my HS graduation my principal had to have a phoen'tic pronunciation guide so he would remember how to say it. But I love my name and would never trade it in for another!!!
My name is Keila,pronounced Keela. Born in the 70's so i've had many years of struggle with people mispronouncing my name! I love having a unique name!,
My name is Keila. It is pronounced Key-la. Almost everyone mispronounces it. I ask them: How do you say Sheila (they don't usually have a problem with that one)❤️ I haven't met anyone else with this name, but it must be more common than I thought.
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
hello my name is Keila I'm 26 born in 1997 , most of the times people spell it wrong !. I'm very surprise how many keilas are lol !! Love my name :)
My name is Keila, pronounced like Kayla. It actually has an accent, spelled Kıila, and It's an English take on an old Gaelic spelling.
My name is Keila. you pronounce it like Kayla the only thing is that it is spelled differently.
Funny... my name is Keela, actually spelled that way, but people pronounce my name as "Kyla" or "Kayla" when'they first see it :)
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.
People have always pronounced my name wrong while i was growing up. calling me Keela. It is also pronounced Kayla. but it is keila. i love my name
My name is Keila and I'm 49. Wow this name has been going around a long time. I love it too!! It is so unique.

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.

Kayla is an old irish surname from county Galway a war name. keila is a form of the name but It's a first name. the angalicised (english) form is kylie or kiely. it is never'spelt with a fada(It's not an accent)on the y as fada's only go on vowels. love the name think It's so cute called my little girl keila. we live in ireland and never heard anyone called it before. It's so unique which is another reason i like it.
This is an abomination of a name. It takes the name Zachary and corrupts its ideals and very nature.

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.
My name is KEILA. I have met and become friends with girls named Kaila, Kayla, Keila, and even Kiela!
MY NAME IS KEILA AND I'm 12 PEOPLE PRONOUNCED AS KAYLA TO IT MAKES ME MAD A LOT ILOVE MY NAME BUT I WISH THEY COULD CALL ME BY MI REAL NAME
What's it all about, Alfie❤️ It was the name of the 1977 fI'm with Michael Caine and Shelley Winters, and then'the 2014 remake starred Jude Law in'the title role. The name is currently popular in'the UK but I don't think It's likely to catch on'to that extent on'the American side of the Atlantic.
I love my name! Keila is awesome lol Did you know that there is also a small town named Keila❤️ Its in Estonia.
I like the'spelling Kailgha better than Kayla or Keila...
My name is Keila. Pronounced how It'should be ❤️Kayla.❤️ My name is the'samoan spelling and that's why It's pronounced differently. I am 16 years old and have learned to love my name. 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
