Heather, My name is Shayla Renee! That's so weird, but personally I don't think any other middle name sounds about as right with Shayla than Renee.

I am thirty two and never knew shayla was popular as it was....although it did start popping up after Mary Lou Retton was on a People magazine cover w her daughter named shayla in the nineties.

My daughter is Shayla Rose! She is 4 and I have never met another child with her name, although I have heard of one person with the name. I love that it is different without being too off the wall.

Only for Shaylas!
