It's pretty looking, but I don't understand why there's an s in it if it's not going to be pronounced.

It's also spanish for island so that comes to mind.

NO ONE is going to pronounce it the way you want them to. It's "ees-lah."

[heyitsrebecca.livejournal.com]

Most people would probably pronounce it wrong.

I wouldn't mispronounce it though.. LOL I love Isla.

I wouldn't use it... I'd hate for it to be name and get called Is-lah all the time. =/

I love it and would consider it, except one of my former classmates is the only person I've ever met by that name, and our grade five and six teacher used it for her daughter when we were in grade eight, so I can't shake the public school associations.

i love isla, but i'm always afraid that no one will be able to pronounce is correctly.

It's a silent S; EYE-la is how it's SUPPOSED to be pronounced! I would never say it any other way. O_o I would hope that most people would know that.
It's pretty. ^^

Well it's like the word isle.

Makes me think of Isla Fisher, whom I love!


I really like it.

I like it pronounced izz-luh too.

It's pretty, but I would spell it differently so it would be pronounced correctly. Maybe Ayla. It's unusual and I think most people would say "EEsla"

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I love it...
I don't know why you'd spell it any differently, I actually think it's quite easy to pronounce... like "island"

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I don't like silent letters at all. They are pointless to me.

[pap3r-heart.livejournal.com]

I really like it.
Very pretty.
Actually, it's on my long list of possible names.

When I first looked at it, I started to sing the chorus of "La Isla Bonita" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Isla_Bonita) in my head. I'd probably end up pronouncing it like the song (EES-lah), too. :/

love it & love that spelling. some prefer Ayla on here, but not me!
