I'm soon to meet an acquaintance's daughter and have only seen her name (on Facebook). I always assumed it was Ay-la but they are English (we're Scottish) and now we're wondering if it's an Anglicised version of Isla? Hoping they introduce her straight away!

Unless its a well established pronunciation such as Niamh being Neeve. Isla being Eye-la, then I'd pronounce a name the way it was spelt so I'd say Ay-la

An acquaintances little girl is an Ayla. It's pronounced Ai-la.

I just read that back and I made no sense in regard your question!

Im English and would presume it was pronounced Eye-La but then I'd pronounce Isla the same too.. Are they not the same?

No idea but id go with pronouncing it the same as Isla too if that helps
