I'm just mildly amused that you are worried that people will mispronounce Isla, when you didn't seen that worried about using Alias, which mean 'Otherwise known as'

Which to put it mildly is an odd meaning to choose for a given name!

sorry she refuses

pootleflump · 19/04/2008 20:21

I don't know why she comes on asking for people's opinons when you refuses point blank to take anything on board. I'll join you in giving up mmj.

I just don't get why- if you like the name Isla you don't just call her that (using the proper spelling), especially when you're scottish.

As for being worried that people will think it's Iz-la - that's just ridiculous! So you'd rather call her ayla and have every single person who reads it pronounce it wrong than have Isla and have maybe 1 person in a million pronounce it wrong .

Makin Do

I prefer Ila Loves Allie (another one the students pointed out to me AFTER I named her!)

kaballie · 19/04/2008 19:36

Cheers Chokes, was getting quite cross which is fairly out of character for me, never had to deal with someone being rude like this on MN before!

Makin Do - you can use Ila if you are Indian, Scottish, Welsh, Tahitian, whatever.

Noone else's business but yours and mean of others to try and get cheap laughs from the very important decision of naming your baby (and in the process take the piss out of the name of my baby because it has a name of non British origin!)

Also I doubt many people will make our points. The Insolvency Lawyers Association is not on the tip of many tongues .

TMMJ - I would normally be the first to criticise odd spellings of names. But Ila is a legitimte Sanskrit name meaning Earth. If the OP has Indian connections then it would make sense to use the I-L-A spelling.

Thanks TMMJ for your kind comments on my daughters name. It's spelt Ila as it is the Indian way of spelling it and she is part Indian. Found your post a little bit insensitive but I'll get over it. If you want to get a laugh, try doing it without insulting others and their children. Always much more satisfactory I find.
