Far too many Emma's but Eila Rose is gorgeous. I'm guessing it's a varient of Isla/Ayla? I definitely prefer Isla.

Isla reminds me of Isle. It makes me think: ok she's the Isle of what?
Also if I didn't know (from your comment) the correct pronunciation I would say it Iz-la or Iss-la.
So I prefer Ayla.

And how do you say the word island?

The s is a silent letter is island, isle, and Isla.

yes I know, but what I am saying is that without knowing that they were to be pronounced the same way, I wouldn't assume the S was silent.

I'm guessing EYE-la. I like that spelling more for the name some people in this community get out of Ayla, which really doesn't make any sense to me.

Regardless Eila and Emma seem rather too similar for sibling names, but I guess it's not the worst I've seen.

I'm guessin that's Eye-la, in which case I prefer it spelled Isla.

Maybe Ee-la, actually. Since "EI" usually makes an 'ee' sound in English.
Ee-la is terrible.

I think i'm going to look it up on BTN
