I love this kind of stuff... My name is Layla. Which I have seen a couple of meanings for starters, The first one.. Dark Beauty.. I am obviously stunning so thats true lol.. ( JOKE ) no seriously , I am not dark as I am as fair as they come but my thoughts can be quite dark sometimes.. hahahaha. I have also seen that it means music of the night... hmmmm, not sure what to make of that. Think my parents liked the name after the clapton song so thats how I got it.
