How many Islas do you know under 3 years old and whereabouts in the UK are you? I know its got very popular but I don't know any. Due a baby girl soon.

Same question for Ada

No Islas under 3 theybare all between 5 and 10. The only Ada I know is 101!

Isla is quite common but I couldn’t give you an exact figure. Ada I’ve never heard. Southwest

Lots of Isla's around DD1's age, shes 12. It was actually on my shortlist. It's less popular in the younger classes at school.

Only know one Ada, she's 5. We're NW based.

Live in Buckinghamshire,
my sons nursery class ( 28 children) has 4 Islas and 2 Ada’s aged between 3 and 4.
I also know of 2 baby Islas born this year and an Ada born 2022.

Seems both are quite popular here.

2 Isla's and 2 Ada's in Oxfordshire. Age between 5 and 11.

Ada much less common than Ava. 5 Avas in DD's year (year 8).

Isla had a big flash around the time DD was born or thereafter. Her primary class had an Isla and an Aiyla.

One Ada - 2 years old. Two Isla - 10 and 12 years old.

HadEnoughOfBears · 08/05/2023 11:50

Lots of Islas across many ages but no Adas

Arewehumanorarewecupboards · 08/05/2023 11:49

None of either under 3. In fact no Isla’s of any age and only one Ada who is in her 70’s.

Lots of Isla's, no Ada's, which incidentally was my nan's name!

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 08/05/2023 11:31

Lots of Islas no Adas so far

WineIsMyCarb · 08/05/2023 11:30

None, but plenty of Avas, Evas, Mias. Affluent Yorkshire Town.

ListeningToZach · 08/05/2023 11:28

None under 3. I know an older Isla.

RuthW · 08/05/2023 11:27
