If someone had suggested the name Neila I would have crinkled my face and said no, I don't think so. I don't like the name
Neil and feminine forms of boys names aren't my favourite and it ends in the trendy -la. However, when she was born she looked like an alien (huge cone head and big black eyes) and I mentioned that alien backwards is Neila. Finally, my husband was excited about a name, so I was happy. And yes, kneeler the peeler is a bit of a problem, but I don't dwell on it :) Plus, the meanings I found: champion, cloud, passionate make up for it :) Nialla is really pretty. I know a two year old
Niall.
