Different ways to spell Isla?

[HelloPeopl3]

Im currently pregnant with our first baby.

My partner and I have only 1 name we both love and that is Isla, however he's not keen on the spelling..

And also a name to go with Isla as we may double barrel first name
Any suggestions?
Thank you x

Just give your poor child the correct spelling and stop being precious about spelling it differently.

Or call your child 'X'

Which would be fine, but the name is derived from Islay. You're all giving OP a hard time for spelling the name the traditional way. It is still correct.

It's Isla. Don't go down the chavvy root of trying to make it different and unique. All you're doing is just spelling it wrong.

A friend with German parents is an Ayla pronounced Isla.

You can also spell it as IOSLA OP.

It's pronounced yla?

I know an Ayla. Her folks are from Kosovo so maybe its the correct spelling there? Either way Id say Isla or Ayla are acceptable along with whatever spellings normal in other countries.

Spell it Aaeeelagh on the other hand and weve got issues.

Eye-lah

What's wrong with Isla? At least everyone will know how to spell it.

I know an Ayla. She is always getting called A-La.

To be fair, you are always going to have to spell or correct Isla for many people, so spelling it as Ayla or Aiyla, is not going to make much difference.

Eye-laah

I'm pretty sure I've seen it spelt Islah? 🤔 If that's preferable? Or Ayla?

How can your DH like a name but not the way it’s spelt?

Maybe he’d be happy with Eyelarh? After all, he wants to be yooooooonique...

Arabic spelling is Ailah.

One of the girls at the school where I volunteer is called Ayla, pronounced Isla. Her family are of Indian origin.

I used to go to school with an Ailsa, pronounced as it is spelt. Unhelpful!

I am not a fan of double barrelled names, but wouldn't have thought Isla needed an extra name anyway. It is quite a strong name on its own. I think it is lovely.

Turkish spelling is Ayla, it’s prounounced the same

Iylah is a little girl at my children’s school x

Aiyla and Ayla are Turkish spellings but it's an entirely different name anyway, different meaning. It's been very very popular the past few years with the Asian and Arabic community even though it's a fairly old Turkish name

I usually spell it tracy.

I know of more than one Islagh. In Scotland though.

Please just use the traditional spelling of Isla.

Wish folk would stop fanning around with the spelling of names, I know a girl called Faith, spelt Phayth. What a total ballache to have to explain.

What is it that your husband doesn’t like about the spelling? I take it that you’ve pointed out ‘island’ is spelt the same way?

Name to go with Isla,Isla St Clair blast from the past! I saw a baby in a magazine ( i rhink ) With the name Maksymillion

I always thought Aisla was a pretty standard spelling apparently not!

I know of more than one Islagh. In Scotland though.

Out or Scotland, that may get pronounced as i-slag or is-lag sadly.
