OK, My baby naming guru goddesses,

I come to you, yet again, with another name in hand. This time my husband proposed it... and for the first time, I don't absolutely hate his suggestion (har).

Let me get your feedback on Isla.

As in:

middlename suggestions
trends, popularity, growth
and all around general opinions

Thanks!!!

"Official" depends on whether you want to see it as Gaelic or Latinate. Isla (Latinate variety, like Spanish) is EES-la, Gaelic/Scottish is EYE-la. Both are completely legitimate, mean the same thing, spelled exactly the same, just pronounced totally differently!

In the UK, at least, EYE-la would be the standard "assumed" pronunciation, but I imagine in many more heavily Hispanic areas of the States, people would assume EES-la.
