   Sweetie, it's a name, not a fortune cookie! Your parents obviously thought it suited you, and it's been your identity for your entire life! Why change it because someone thinks it means one thing because of a foreign word? It doesn't matter what it means, the name doesn't make you, you make the name.It's entirely up to you whether you change it, but I say don't let a internet or book source tell you who you are. Let your heart and mind decide.

   Your name is stunning why would you want to change it based on the meaning of the name. Name meanings mean nothing to me and most people I know, they just go by the way the name sounds. There are a lot of ugly names out there with good meanings, and a lot of pretty names with plain, boring or stupid meanings.I say keep your name as is, it's a very pretty name.

   Layla is a gorgeous name! Dark beauty is a way better meaning than some of the other names…Cameron – bent nosedKennedy – ugly headClaude – crippledMallory – unluckyand many more….So, don't put too much stock into the meaning. You make the name, the name does not make you! Source(s): Help with mine?

   You should be happy; despite the meaning, Layla is very pretty and unique. Actually, not so unique anymore, as it is becoming very popular for for baby girls these days.

   My name is Annette which is French for Ann (favoured Grace) or Hebrew for full of grace. Either way I'm not French or Hebrew and really don't have that much grace at all. The meaning of my name has no meaning for me and it doesn't affect who I am at all.

   Layla is a pretty name but ur parents should've known you was born during the day. My suggestion is you change it to " Daydream ".

   Your mother/father gave you a name. That should be enough meaning!
