  1. I chose the name Kayla after the foster child my parents had when I was a toddler and we were inseparable. Kayla was always spunky and her name also means pure. Her middle name is Rose which was my grandmas name.

  2. This was my grandma’s dog’s name, but i think, it’s a perfect name to a little girl

  3. I love her so much

  4. I was searching for a girls name then i saw that kayla means laurel and crown, her second name is Otchali and means blessing

  5. It means ‘Crown’ and we will raise her to be a strong and confident Queen and teach her that she is a precious jewel.

  6. My oldest daughter name her Kayla

    • my mom name is dominique 2

  7. her name is similar is to mines and i love it

  8. I wanted my daughter to have a name that was simple but sweet and something she could be comfortable with growing up.

  9. It’s short and pretty and not to common or to rare. It was a name that both of us liked from the git go.
