I don't really know anyone under 3 but plenty of 3 plus and primary age as have 2 dc in that range and work in a school. Know/ know of a lot of Islas (Scotland so it's quite common). I've never met an Ada

Am in London. Isla has been v popular for ages. It's also a popular for Turkish children here (Ayla). Lots of them all through from nursery up.
Ayda/Ada - been increasing in KS1/nurseries.
