Hi any opinions would be great we are down to 3 final girls names they are very similar so having a hard time picking

Isla
Ayla - (Ay-la)
Mila - (Mee-lah)

Would love to hear your opinions and favourites finding it really hard this time round to pick and stay with one name x

Ayla will get pronounced both "Ay-la" and "eye-la" so just be aware of that :)
Mila will get pronounced "meela" and "Myla"

I would choose Isla personally, because I can't have a name that can be pronounced different ways weirdo it drives me crazy! :D

Mila

Mila.

Isla is overused and Ayla is just seems a bit...nothing-ish? (Not sure why)

What about:

Mara
Mira
Lina

I like Ayla best.

Mila

Really like all of them.

Probably Ayla, Mila, Isla would be my order of preference.

I prefer Isla. I know of quite a few baby Aylas at the moment so I think it'll date although it's a pretty name.

WellErrr · 27/04/2016 19:02

I like Mila but I'd pronounce it Myla.

Toadsrevisited · 27/04/2016 19:01

Mia?

Roarlikeadinosaur · 27/04/2016 18:58

Mila

WordGetsAround · 27/04/2016 18:47

I'd go for the one that you don't need to explain the pronounciation for.

Isla

NadiaWadia · 27/04/2016 18:34

Mila is lovely, and I think it's becoming more popular. Not to the extent that Isla is though - so that's a good thing! Because of Mila Kunis, the majority of people would know of the name although you may get some people mispronouncing it as My-la, but you can quickly set them right.

Iv loved Isla for years since I first heard of actress Isla Fisher but definitely put off that it's so popular but then don't want to have a name no-one can spell or pronounce love Mila but worried it's too foreign or unusual.

I like all of them. Isla is popular so if you want something more unusual then I would go with one of the other two, but the flip side of that is that Isla is an "established" name so doesn't routinely have to be spelt out/ repeated every time you tell it to someone new - which you would probably find yourself doing with Ayla and Mila.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 27/04/2016 17:33

Not another Isla.
The other 2 are okay.

NapQueen · 27/04/2016 17:33

Mila for me

Isla is more classic and seems quite popular at the moment. Ayla I also like but I prefer Mila the most.
