2 "different" girl names

Let me know what you think of these....

Baila means to dance
Carmen

Just some different ones on my mind! Honest thoughts appreciated!

Carmen is NMS and I'm not sure it fits with Miles and Asher. I have never heard of the name Baila, but after looking up the meaning/origin I actually kind of like it.

I strongly dislike both of them, but if I had to choose, I'd probably go with Carmen.

I like Carmen. Baila is nice, but I think there will be mispronunciation issues. If you're fine with that, then by all means, go for it! I like that its different.

You're going for "Bye-lah" right? I really don't like it. 

Carmen is alright, but it's kind of rough IMO.

I would make these Bailey and Camilla, or Brielle and Camille

I like Carmen, dislike Baila (and think it would not be pronounced properly as B-eye-luh)

Sorry, but I don't care for either and don't feel they go well with the names of your sons.

I like Carmen, it's very pretty.  I don't like Baila at all; I wouldn't give my child a verb for a name.  Just NMS.

Anyone with a working knowledge of Spanish will probably be able to figure out how to pronounce Baila. I like the name a lot: it's unusual without sounding like it's from a bad sci-fi film. In addition to its Spanish meaning, it is a Yiddish name meaning "white" (http://www.behindthename.com/name/baila).

Carmen is also a lovely name. It has a strength to it that I enjoy. I also like "Carmela"-- it seems more lyrical, lighter on its feet, and more in line with the Baila vibe.

I have a working knowledge of Spanish and still would ave no idea how to pron ounce Baila if I saw it on paper.

Balla prn Bye-lah is pretty, but I have to admit that when I saw it, I said Ball-uh in my head, which sounds like an accented hip hop word- Baller, but that could be my inner geek coming out.  There's a character on The Guild (a web series about gamers) whose screen name is Tinkerballa b/c she's sort of a girl thug.

I really like Carmen. Baila is NMS.

Baila is a word in Spanish, therefore I'm not a fan. Carmen is an underused and decent name.
