How Laila sounds
Two syllables make Laila compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. A vowel ends Laila, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Its soft, humming consonants make Laila sound like water to the ear. Laila has held a steady place in U.S. birth records, neither a fad nor a rarity. Laila appears mainly as a girl's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Laila it is fire, made with the tip of the tongue. The sound of Laila belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Laila, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Laila would add to it.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Laila reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Laila as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
