Mazel tov!! My daughter is Baila, named after my husband’s grandmother. I disliked the name but was expected to give it. My mil would have been really upset if not. It grew on me over the last number of years. As your daughter gets older, you associate the name with her and the feelings you have for her connect to the name.

It is a beautiful name! Short and easy to pronounce by everyone. When I think of the name Baila, I picture a sweet, happy and refined girl. I hope you grow to love the name and may you only have nachas from your daughter!

My friend Baila told me that is an acronym for ברוך ה' לעולם אמן. Thought that was beautiful and forever changed the way I view the name. Mazal tov and enjoy your beautiful daughter!

I like the name a lot.
It also works in English well which is nice.
(Bella is actually a diff Jewish name)
Personally - I had a lot of doubts about the name I chose for one of my children. It was choosing 2 diff versions of the same name. I was convinced I chose wrong. I couldn’t call my child the name. I couldn’t say it. Many years later it is obvious it is the best name for her.

That’s my name!! I actually love it. I’m the only one in my family with a Yiddish name but it’s pretty common and easy to say and not strange. I also work in the non Jewish world and everyone always comments they live my name and ask me it’s origin

Hi op. Wondering if u live in a primarily litvish area? I do and have a grandmother golda who we hope to name after sometime. I’ve mentioned to people that I don’t like the name and they are floored. When you are surrounded by so many beautiful names from Tanach and hebrew names with nice meanings it’s hard to get passed the Yiddish sound. I totally feel you. I’d give a more American sounding nickname..

I have learned that Baila is a Holy name. It stands for Baruch Hashem Leolam Amen.

This is what I came on here to post. I also had mixed feelings about the name until I heard this. It is a beautiful meaning.

It’s not coffee actually. It’s Irish cream. But either way, Bailey is also a pretty common name. I don’t think there’s that strong an association to the alcohol. I probably wouldn’t name a child “Tequila,” however…

In America. It’s something like #50 in popular girl names past few years.
There is also a large frum family ‘dynasty’ with many girls whose Hebrew name is actually Bella.

In the US, inspired by the popular "Twilight" book/movie series, which made a previously old-fashioned name more well-known among younger people.

We named my baby afew months ago two names after a grandmother one of the names is Baila and we decided on calling her Baila . After the first week I started regretting that we chose to call her Baila and thought the other name was cuter sounding. Now after Afew months she is such a Baila and I can’t imagine calling her the other name. She is so cute kah and the name Baila grew on me and I like it . But thanks op for starting this thread because with everyone’s positive comments about the name I feel even better that we call her Baila. She also such a smiley baby kah that I call her smiley biley lol

If it’s any consolation, I teach preschool and we have a Baila almost every year. All adorable little girls, so yours will be in good company.
