Isla?

Looks beautiful, but I'm not sure I'm pronouncing it correctly.

It's pronounced Eye-lah I believe. I like it.

Everyone I know who've used the name pronounces it Ees-la

jlhook0 · August 2011

eye-luh.

I've heard both Eye-la and Ees-la, so I guess both are acceptable. I've heard Eye-la more often, though, probably because of Isla Fisher.

Eye-la. I love this name and have been trying to convince DH for awhile. I guess pronunciation is one worry since on paper people may be confused at first.

Eye-luh. to me, Ees-la is island in spanish.

This. It means "island," which makes the pronunciation easy to remember.

This name really bothers me for some reason. I think it's just silly and trendy.

I love the name Isla.

I had a student this past year who was named Isla (pronounced Eye-la). Just one thing to consider...her last name started with P and on all of our school tech log-in info, she was islap11 (I really don't remember what the last 2 numbers were, but you get the idea). Anyway, from that she got the nickname "i-slap"...she had a good sense of humor about it and other students sort of laughed it off and forgot about it, but it might be something to consider if your last name starts with P.
