Zara or Isla?

[Phish]

Title says it all really. We love both names and can't decide which to go for. Would appreciate any views on either. Thanks

Zara, I think. We know loads of Islas.

[toobreathless]

An explosion of Islas here too, I know four under two years.

Like Zara, or what about Cora or Cara?

Zara. I wanted to call DD Zara but DH said we weren't posh enough to have a daughter called Zara.

both lovely-never met one of either

Zara - has more 'edge'

[puzzletree]

Zara, would be right at the top of my girls name list but my friend used it first!

[ThePoorMansBeckySharp]

I much prefer Zara and Isla is in danger of being done to death imo.

Though it saddens me to say it as a mum of a DD who is called Isla (4); I have to concede the name has been overcooked of late. :-( It needs a rest! What was once a less common Scottish name outside of Scotland; has become so much more ordinary due to it's popularity/name of the day trend.
Zara is refreshing :-)

Zara!

Zara- agree Isla is becoming over used.

[SlinkingOutsideInFrocks]

Easily Zara - would be on my short-list for another girl.

Isla is a lovely name, but very popular now and so will date.

[somanymiles]

Isla!

[BearBehavingBadly]

Zara.
Lara is nice too.

[girlsyearapart]

Love them both. What letter does your surname start with?

[Phish]

Thanks everyone. You've pretty much reflected what we were thinking. Zara it is!

[EllenParsons]

LOVE both but if you are worried about popularity Zara is probably the one to go for.

[Nagoo]

Zara.
