Hi, I don't know if I'm having a boy or a girl yet. Having lots of difficulty picking names so please give me your opinions. What do people think about the name Isla for a girl or Euan for a boy?

i like them both. and i like euan spelled that way.. ewan seems quite english to me (i'm scottish).

Like Isla for a girl, not keen on Euan though - but that's just my preference. It's nice and simple, short too.

I love them both -- beautiful names, imo. I love the Euan spelling; Ew... makes me think of my reaction to seeing something unpleasant.

Like them both.

Like them both. Prefer Ewan spelling though.

I am Scottish and we considered Ailsa but had a boy.

Also like Struan and Campbell.

I quite like Isla but know of 4 under 2 in our reasonably small village. I also like Euan (its DH's name but is spelt Ewen). He will obviously have to spend all his life clarifying the spelling, but at least its only 4 letters !

Think they are both lovely - Scottish, short, simple and strong! I love them both

Both nice

I love Isla. Euan is nice too but I would naturally spell it Ewan.
