We are having a boy, but Isla was on my short list for a girl, we were also considering Ayla (Hebrew) and Eila (Gaelic) b/c DH is Jewish and I am Irish. BUT, the main reason I wouldn't go with the Ayla spelling is that I would be afraid it would be pronounced A-la and I have a cousin name Aila, which is pronounced that way. Her full name is Aileen, so if you were looking for the A-la pronunciation, you may think about going that way instead.

Re: Thoughts on name Ayla ?
It is ok but feels too modern and trendy for me to use it.
