Isla

GintyMcGinty · 04/02/2021 18:30

All nice

Prefer Sophie

Joolsin · 04/02/2021 18:18

Daisy. Best by far! Then Isla, then Grace. I don't like the others.

KirstenBlest · 04/02/2021 18:15

Nicknames are often only tenuously linked to the name. Isla shortening to Issy seems strange but to Is not so much, so it kind of makes sense.

alexdgr8 · 04/02/2021 18:15

Alice or Sophia or Grace

user1493494961 · 04/02/2021 18:12

It's a lovely list, I think I would choose Alice.

odddogout · 04/02/2021 18:03

Alice or Ava (with Alice marginally ahead, it's a classic!)

Sprockerdilerock · 04/02/2021 18:02

Alice, all day long

@pinkandstripey

But Isla is pronounced like Lyla???

Alice 💕

Yes I know. This Isla is still going by Izzy though 💁🏻‍♀️

Twinkie01 · 04/02/2021 17:56

ShouldHaveCouldHaveWouldHave · 04/02/2021 17:52

All really dull (sorry)

But if I had to order them in preference:

Isla
Ava
Sophia
Grace
Alice

Way down further than number 6 but it’s number 6 by default) Daisy

SionnachRua · 04/02/2021 17:49

Can't see how Isla gives you Izzy!

I know an Isla nicknamed Izzy (though I think she spells it Issey? Proumced like Izzy, anyway).
Tbh I think anything starting with 'is' has Izzy potential.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 04/02/2021 17:47

Daisy is too cutesy for me, and I'm not keen on Isla either (plus it's very trendy now too).

As much as I like the sound of Ava and Sophia they are just too popular imo (top 10, plus their variants and soundalikes are very popular too - Sophie, Sofia, Eva, Ivy, Evie, Ada), so your DD would blend into many others; and Grace is very popular as a middle name as well as a first name (so feels a bit overdone to me).

So that leaves Alice - classic, timeless and popular (but not really overused) and would be my choice from your list.

AnnaSW1 · 04/02/2021 17:44

I love Ava Sophia and Grace.

ILoveStickers · 04/02/2021 17:26

Isla and Sophia are my favourites.

Can't see how Isla gives you Izzy!

Kaia20 · 04/02/2021 17:22

I love Isla and Daisy

ladycarlotta · 04/02/2021 17:21

@SionnachRua

I'd go for Isla but hate Izzy, so it's a non-runner for me. If you like Izzy I'd pick it.

I'm confused. how are you pronouncing Isla?

TenThousandSpoons · 04/02/2021 17:05

I like all of them but my favourite is Alice.

HenriettaHeffalump · 04/02/2021 17:02

Alice

Firebird83 · 04/02/2021 16:25

Not Isla, Ava or Grace. They’re all very overused.

Firebird83 · 04/02/2021 16:25

Alice

sufur · 04/02/2021 16:04

All gorgeous. My favourites are Alice or Sophia - beautiful names. I also this Ava is lovely. Not as keen on Daisy, but think it would make a nice middle name with one of the others.

Chilldonaldchill · 04/02/2021 16:01

Isla - lovely, this would be my first pick
Daisy - Daisy gets a bad response on here but I like it
Alice - lovely as well
Ava - this would probably be my next though I much prefer Ada
Sophia - nice but a bit dull
Grace - nice but really dull..
