Sterotype my future baby's name

DH and I have talked about baby names for years.

Our girl will be Laila Irene.

 What comes to mind as a sterotype for a Laila Irene?

TIA

When I hear Laila I think of Laila Ali or Princess Leia from Star Wars, but I still think it's a pretty name.

I don't hear a specific stereotype. Just be prepared to hear it wrong all.the.time. DD has a similar name and gets called Laila, Lydia, Lilly, Lela...anything remotely similar.

Same - I think of Laila Ali

I do think that Laila Irene sounds great together though!

Thanks for your thoughts ladies.

Irene is actually a family name so I am glad you think it sounds nice together.

I never thought of the Stats Wars connection before but I can get by that.

I also had to look up who Laila Ali was, but not an issue there for me anyways.

Thanks again.

I picture a smoked filled bar and a woman name Laila with over permed hair and a very loud laugh....(smokers laugh). Sorry that this is my impression, I wish it were not it!

A tough girl who likes to fight. Of course I am 100% influenced by Laila Ali.

Laila makes me think of a beautiful dark haired woman.

Irene makes me think of an old woman.

Laila sounds like a little kid name to me.  I don't know why.  I also thought of Laila Ali though.  I LOVE Irene.

Even though it's spelled different, I think of the song by Eric Clapton.
