    I would do Layla Mae- instead of May, as you already have a 'y' in Layla and Sayle- I think 3 'y's look a bit much.
    I suppose you have cast out the spellings Leila, Leyla, Laela and Laila? I think these would look better with Sayle- IMO, as they don't have the 'ay' in it like in S'ay'le.

    I wouldn't worry about the sound of the middle name with the last name too much- as they will hardly be said out aloud together. (Only written on legal documents etc).

    I love Layla Mae, Leila Mae, Leyla Mae or Laila Mae. Its so soft and pretty.
    You could also do Layla Jae...or Layla Shae... (ok, so I love 'ay' sounding names- lol).
    For some reason Layla Mae still stands out to me tho. It just runs off the tongue.....
    Although again, with your last name, I would personally go for another spelling of Layla.
