What's wrong with this name? I think it's pretty and unusual without being too wacky but, looking at the stats, it's virtually unheard of, what am I missing?

Also how would you pronounce it?

Isolde is better.

Yep, I think of 'island' too. Sometimes 'names' don't appear in the lists because they're not actually names.

Isola - A Nigerian name, usually a surname. Have colleague with this name and it is pronounced 'E-sho-la'

It's the Italian for island. Not sure Island is a name, more a noun in my opinion.

But they sound like 'is old' or 'is older'
