Isla was top on our list, then she came out and I just knew she should be called Rose...it wasn't even on our list. Bizarre.

Orla,
Isla is going to be very "now" and then be seen as very faddy.

Orla - DS3 was going to be Orla or Lydia.

One of his best mates is Isla.

My spellchecker changed Orla to Oral which is reason enough not to choose it imo.

Isla is lovely. Also like Iris and Iona in a similar vein.

There's a horrible definition for Lola in one of the urban dictionaries but how much it's a genuine slang word or just totally made up I don't know. I like Lola as a diminutive of a longer name, think it's too casual otherwise.

I don't think Isla is faddy, but then I'm in Scotland and it's a traditional name here.

Isla or Orla

Personally, none of them.

love Isla, but it's bang on trend, Orla is pretty and unusual. Lola is just too insubstantial and sexual. Perhaps Eloise with nn of Lola ok though. A Lola should have a proper name to fall back on.

We have chosen Isla Rose for a girl (subject to her looking like something else)due in 2 weeks, despite my dad saying what happens if she marries a man called ....white she will be Isla White. . Still love it though

They'e all 'ok'( well apart from lola which is horrid), but why don't you find something at bit less 'run of the mill'? There are so many girls with those names atm.
