2 Islas and 1 Ada

posh northern area

Scottishgirl85 · 08/05/2023 19:40

Home counties. Can't move for Isla's at the school (primary). 1 Ada.

I'm scottish and loved Isla, but it is stupidly popular which has somewhat ruined it. We went for Iona. She's now 5 and we are complimented daily re her name. Never known another one.

tinytemper66 · 08/05/2023 19:37

2 Islas and no Adas.

Lots of Isla’s, two avas and one Ada

Four or five of each. Ava never seemed that popular around here, same with Amelia. I don’t know a single Ava or Amelia.

Fandabedodgy · 08/05/2023 18:32

Isla - loads but I'm in Scotland
Ada - none
