Re: Aila?

  • Go with Ayla. Aila isn't good because AIL stands out too much. Eyla makes me think ee-luh. And Eila is actually a different spelling for Isla, a totally different name (eye-luh).

    How are you pronouncing it? Eye-luh? A-luh (long a)? Eyla and Eila look ridiculous. Aila looks made up.

    If you are pronouncing it Eye-luh, then go with Isla.

    ISLA

    Gender: Feminine

    Usage: Scottish

    Feminine form of ISLAY

    If you are pronouncing it A-luh (long a), then go with Ayla.

    AYLA (1)

    Gender: Feminine

    Usage: Hebrew

    Other Scripts: ????? (Hebrew)

    Variant transcription of ELAH
     
    AYLA (2)

    Gender: Feminine

    Usage: Turkish

    Possibly means "moonlight, halo" in Turkish.
     
    AYLA (3)

    Gender: Feminine

    Reminds me of someone who is sick and ailing...

    Ayla is a better spelling but seems like an incomplete name that is missing the first letter. Kayla? Layla? Sort of like naming someone Atherine or Arlotte.

    I like Isla though.

     

    *giggle* I do have to agree though. Def nms.

  • I'm not sure how you want this name pronounced which means you and your child will most likely be correcting people a lot if you name them this with the Aila spelling.

    I would spell it Ayla. However, if you are going for "Eye-la" pronounciation I would spell it Isla.

  • Ayla. The others may get mispronounced
