Unlikely Inspiration from Bodenland | Name News | Scoop.it

Baby Names Daily: Zeyla

" I saw this name on a new game I am addicted too, Covet Fashion.  I can not get off this thing and had always wished for a game like this but thought it was impossible, but YAY!!!! Anyway one of the outfits I saw on there (and I can't remember the designer right now) was named Zeyla.  I can not find any pronunciation for this name online and it seems like a pretty uncommon name.  I am pronouncing the Zey just like Hey, I hope thats right.
