Re: Girl Names
^I'm thinking about this more. Do I really want my daughter named after a tragic romance heroine? I would NEVER name my daughter Juliet, but Juliet was also an idiot.
I like Leyla because it sounds pretty and Islamically night is such a sacred time. But I don't want her brought up thinking she's a silly romantic heroine. Altho, I guess we all go through that phase.
Side note: Apparently Eric Clapton's album featuring Layla is actually inspired by Leila and Majnu. Another song actually quotes from the poetry related to their story! <-- according to Wikipedia.
