I love this name, but have started hearing it around a little bit. Do we think it could end up being the new Ava/Isla etc?

I’m a teacher and really do not want a top 10 baby name for upcoming DD. (We have a Niamh already 😍)

Very popular here

Love it (and it's nice and easy to say and spell).

User24689 · 30/04/2019 05:56

Quite like it - although here in the south east I know more Orlas than I know isla's!

Peachbubble · 30/04/2019 05:38

I know quite a few now, so yes it may well become the next Eva/Ava

Love Orla & don’t think it’ll become a number 1 but even if it did it’s still lovely

Derry Girls is probably reviving it a bit, but it’s a fairly niche show so I don’t think it will go the full Elsa.

What about the similar but different Ornella ?

Fantasisa · 30/04/2019 00:06

Gorgeous

BattenburgIsland · 30/04/2019 00:03

I think its lovely

DramaAlpaca · 29/04/2019 23:57

Russian? Maybe pp was thinking of Olga.

Anyway, Orla is gorgeous & of course goes beautifully with Niamh.

mineallmine · 29/04/2019 23:55

I love it too and it goes nicely with Niamh. I'm assuming you're Irish?

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 29/04/2019 23:47

Russian 😂😂😂😂

It’s lovely OP.

Do you have Irish connections? I only ask because with a Niamh already you’ll get asked that A LOT!

LorelaiRoryEmily · 29/04/2019 23:45

Orla isn’t russianGrin. It’s irish! Are you think of Ola? @areyoukiddingme

Corcra · 29/04/2019 23:44

I love that name. I don’t think it will become so popular it’s in the top 10.

Falafel19 · 29/04/2019 23:42

It's not Russian? It's Irish. It's lovely, easy to say and spell, all good!

areukiddingme · 29/04/2019 23:38

Great Russian name, are you Russian?
