my ex boyfriend which I still have strong feelings for is named George and his brother's name is Matt. I guess they're not greek names. So then would it be acceptable if they named one of their children Layla?

I don't think Layla is greek.

As far as I know, "Layla" is not Greek, but derives from Arabic and Hebrew; in Hebrew, "laila" means night, and one might say "laila tov" to wish someone a "good night."

The names that i like most for boys are those of ancient greek philosophers and leaders such as Socrates, Aristotelis, Alexandros (Alexander). For girls i like names as Kalliope, Melpomeni (or Melpo) , Erato, Ifigenea.

Nope, its not a Greek name. If your looking for greek, try something like Alexandera.
