Isla Grace or Layla Grace?

[Crystal15]

I can't decide!

[OutOfBlueComesGreen]

Isla imo.

[NotAMamaYet]

Isla.

If the other, please spell Leila not Layla......

[mediumdeadwood]

Layla. And I prefer your spelling to Leila.

[Mamia15]

Definitely Isla - its a pretty name :)

Dislike Layla.

[HubbleBubbles]

I love Layla! Like Eric Clapton - retro cool. Isla is a bit over done now imo.

[LivinOnAChair]

Isla is my name of choice if we ever have a DD, Isla Grace is lovey!

[OvO]

Isla.

My DS's school has more Layla's than Isla's! Scottish school too so you'd think Isla would be more popular.

Both are very pretty though.

[weegiemum]

Layla (or Leila).

Isla is off-the -chart common here. Its the new Lily.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Isla.

But if it's Layla then that spelling.

[Chinlo]

Layla.

Isla is probably nicer, if you don't mind it's popularity. For me number 3 is just too much. I don't mind a top 20 name, top 10 maybe, I suppose, if I really loved it. But top 5? I don't think I could do it.

[Pemba]

Layla Grace. Or preferably Leila Grace (much prettier and more classic spelling).

Isla is OK, but for some reason it has become superpopular the last few years, they are all over the place.

[Chinlo]

Layla Grace. Or preferably Leila Grace (much prettier and more classic spelling)

Actually, according to behindthename, which is normally very reliable in these matters, Layla is the original spelling and Leila is a variant.

Therefore, Layla is more classic and in my opinion, prettier!

[veiledsentiments]

I like both, but it's Laila. Had mine 18 years!

[veiledsentiments]

Leila to me is Leela. My daughter is named after the first Laila that I knew 35 years ago. And it was definitely Laila.

[Pipilangstrumpf]

Isla is too popular and will soon sound dated.

Layla less common so would choose it on that basis

[Pipilangstrumpf]

I prefer the Layla spelling. Pronounced as it is written- Lay-la. Easy.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Isla Grace.

[Newtoday]

Layla

[MadameSilva]

Isla Grace will probably be at school with 8 other Isla Graces

[Shadowboy]

Love Isla. Layla for some reason makes me think of a porn star. I also love Grace.

[Corialanusburt]

Shadowboy, I also always think of a porn star when I think of the name Layla. It sounds pleasant to say but looks somehow a bit tarty.

There are way too many Islas now. In the 79s when I was little there was only Isla St Clair.

[PipersPiping]

Isla. I think the popularity thing must be regional, my Isla is 6 and we've not met or heard of another locally in that time.

[Sophronia]

Isla. I don't like the 'lay' part of Layla.

[PoldarksBreeches]

Layla something else.
Isla and Grace are so common now that they are utterly dull. Choose something original.

[scrivette]

Laila Grace (how my friend spells it)
