Orla or Reina?

These are my 2 favourite girls names I’ve managed to whittle down, I’m just curious which you prefer out of the two?
If you don’t like either, that’s fine :)

I like Orla (I know it’s not the traditional Irish spelling) as I like how it sounds, I think it sounds pretty and works well for a baby/child and an adult. I don’t personally know anyone with that name either

I like Reina because it’s more unique and means Queen in Spanish apparently. Also like the idea of Rae as a nickname

Please don't do Orla. Kids will change it to oral.

Reina was the Spanish national goalkeeper and played at Liverpool for a number of years and was a fans’ favourite. So as a Liverpool fan I’d say yes go for it and buy the gloves early on.

Orla

Reina. I've not heard it before but it's lovely.

I don't like the long Orrrrrrr sound of Orla.
