Isla

Do you like it or are you over it?

Also, do you pronounce it eye-la or iss-la?

(It's currently my top favorite, pronounced eye-la)

FakeFinn · February 2013

I like it! I say eye-la.

bumpuser5823822 · February 2013

I like. I've never actually heard it in real life.

I pronounce it eye-luh. I was under the impression that was the only correct way? But I will admit that before I came on here I had NO IDEA how to pronounce it. Its the one reason I would never use it. People in my life would have no clue how to pronounce it.

KatFCo · February 2013

I would pronounce it Ees-la, like the Spanish word for island.

I personally have never really liked it for a name.

Zimger · February 2013

Eye-la

I have never liked it.

danabsd · February 2013

Not a fan. Eye la.

bobcee · February 2013

This.

I would pronounce it Isla and TBH, I am over it. I has been very popular in our area for the last few years and I know 4 or 5 Islas under the age of three.

Mrs.G123 · February 2013

Love it. Is pronounced eyela.

rsage53 · February 2013

eye-la and I like it!

lifeonthehill · February 2013

I am not a fan of this names. Eye-La is how I say it and have heard it.

BrittRN+ · February 2013

I like, it's short and sweet. I pronounce it eye la.

eye-la

I like it

Helenahhandbasket · February 2013

I like it, but I do think since it became reasonably popular relatively quickly, it has the potential to sound dated.

Edit to add: Eye-lah

pettycrocker · February 2013

eye-la, I think it's really pretty.

MelRC117:
I'm over it but its definitely not horrible. Eye-la hands down.
I just see it on TB a lot but I actually don't know any IRL.

This.

Eye-la. I think it's pretty.

OT: I noticed your son's name is Augie...just wondering what is the longer version of his name? I love the name Augustus and that was our choice for our last if we had a boy. (:

It's August : )

eye-la, and I know a number of little girls named it. It's not my style, but it's a nice name for someone else's kid and I certainly wouldn't side-eye it.

chels0120 · February 2013

I love it! I have two friends who named their little girl Isla (eye-la) and they are darling.

mrstengallonhat1 · February 2013

I love it! It's #1 on our girls list right now!

jessicamaister · February 2013

Love it

Idani:
I don't mind it. It's not really popular in my area. I thought eye-la was the only way to pronounce it? The iss-la way would be my fear in using it because I wouldn't want people to say that.

I love it but that ^ would be my fear when using it. My 40 year old female cousin brought it up to me a while back and pronounced it incorrectly and I wanted to cry because I can see that happening all.the.time...and it's just too pretty of a name to be mispronounced so horribly. :S

I only know of one IRL. She is 1.

ETA: Although I first encountered the name when I was in junior high...so about 16 years ago. A friend's mn is spelled Islay...pronounced Isla. Loved it ever since I heard it.

new2colorado · March 2013

LOVE Isla. I am begging my husband to consider it. I heard it IRL when a mom called her daughter that and I loved it even more then.

and definitely pronounced eye-la
