Re: WDYT
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I think any name that you have to spell out phonetically when asking for opinions is not a good idea. Your poor child, having to never hear her name pronounced correctly, ever.
I don't like Gunnar. I don't like Carrick. I don't like them together. They're both too "nouveau" or something. But that's just my opinion.
A child named Isla will continually be correcting people on the pronunciation of her name. If you're okay with that, go for it. Otherwise, it's a lovely name.
Gunnar has massive potential for teasing.
isla isnt bad..but i have a friend who named her daughter that and no one gets it right!
This. I would think it is ees-la. What do you think of Lila? It has basically the same sound, and not any confusion. When I saw Isla, it reminded me of a girl named Isa (ees-ah) which is kind of similar as well.
Thanks
outside insight is nice. We chose them for a combo of meaning and Irish roots.
For Isla, I know its pronounced EYEla, but I kind of like it EESla I guess we could say it however we want...
Gunnar, DH likes b/c it means warrior (he's a Marine) and he just loves that.
I love Isla.
Gunnar is NMS.
edit: I don't agree with the notion of NOT naming your child because some people may not know how to pronounce it right away. Who cares.
Love your girl name
hate your boy name
Has no one heard of Isla Fisher?
I really dislike the boys name
girl name ok
boy name is horrible, it's a person that you are having NOT a dog
I love Isla, and honestly? So she corrects new people the first time she meets them. Eh. It's a pretty name.
Gunnar sounds like a dog's name to me, sorry. I actually know two pups (both American Bulldogs, oddly) named Gunnar.
I love Isla, and I'm really surprised that people have trouble pronouncing it. It's becoming more and more common, though, so I think that'll help.
Gunnar is okay, but not really my style. Same thing for Carrick, but of course middle names aren't used as much so there's less pressure there.
(And I would have pronounced Mirielle correctly, without the guide.)
This.
LOVE Isla! Its getting popular over here (uk) so I knew how to pronounce instantly, IMO not especially keen on the other names, but ultimately its your baby...
