I've been on here with about a hundred middle name options so far for Orla. Now DH and I are talking about this. Do you think it's a mouthful?

Doesn't really go.

Orla Eliza?
Orla Elise?

Beautiful. Elspeth is one of my most favourite names. I don't see a problem using it with Orla.

I think it's a beautiful name, not too much of a mouthful at all IMO.

Don't like two vowels together . One of my DGDs is Isla Eve and I don't think it flows. We also have an Orla Kate which I love.

Yes it doesn't really flow IMO

Orla Ruth
Orla Joy
Orla Josephine
Orla Beatrice
Orla Grace

Too difficult to say.

Very nice 😀

Lovely

Pluto30 · 02/11/2016 21:52

The vowel sounds clash.

I don't like Elspeth though.

Orla's sweet.

Elspeth is a lovely idea, but with Orla I do think it's a bit of a mouthful TBH.

icantgetnosleep5 · 02/11/2016 21:44

I Love Elspeth 💜
Really not a fan of Orla tho sorry

I really like Orla and I love Elspeth. I'd go for Elspeth Orla but as you're dead set on Orla as the first name, I'd say go for it. Not a mouthful in my mind, in fact it flows really nicely.
