Isla

HoorayHattie · 17/01/2026 17:25

Sorry, I don't understand your voting for AIBU?

Both names are lovely

Rosealea · 17/01/2026 17:26

Definitely not layla

AwfullyGood · 17/01/2026 17:27

Isla.

When I heard Layla...I think Layla, she was a show girl...

Noreeen · 17/01/2026 17:28

I prefer Isla. Although it's incredibly popular at the moment if that makes any difference to you. There are at least 8 at my DCs primary school.

Its lola in the song 😆

youalright · 17/01/2026 17:28

Layla every other kid is called Isla

LovelyUser · 17/01/2026 17:28

Isla is overused and I don't like Layla. YABU because it's not an AIBU?

Ikeameatballs · 17/01/2026 17:28

Leila is my preferred spelling for Layla

Layla wasn't a showgirl, Lola was. Layla was a song by Derek and the Dominoes.

Both are lovely, but Layla gets my vote as its less popular. I also like Leila as a spelling.

AwfullyGood · 17/01/2026 17:39

Got lyrics wrong!

Isla is a much classier name anyway imo.

butterdish93 · 17/01/2026 17:48

Layla.
isla Is lovely but there’s a lot of them about!

lobsterkiller · 17/01/2026 18:02

One of the kids in my wider family is called Layla. Lovely name.

loislovesstewie · 17/01/2026 18:02

Layla, however you spell it, it's lovely.

RuthW · 17/01/2026 18:11

Both are very popular. Isla is the better one by miles

Jackiepumpkinhead · 17/01/2026 18:11

Not a fan of Isla, my brain wants to say ‘Is-la’ rather than ‘Eye-la’. Layla is nice.

YourWinter · 17/01/2026 18:14

Isla (or Iona). Why is this AIBU?

ginasevern · 17/01/2026 18:29

Well I was going to say Isla is the nicest (and classier) because I think Layla does sound like a show girl. But apparently there are tons of Isla's around at the moment. How about Iona as @YourWinter suggests. It's a lovely name and very different.

That would be Lola

user2848502016 · 17/01/2026 19:20

Isla

WanderlustMom · 17/01/2026 20:19

Isla

RosesAndHellebores · 17/01/2026 20:25

Isla's lovely. Especially in Scotland or if you have Scottish heritage.

Leila seems a better spelling than Layla.

There is an entire board dedicated to baby names ffs. Bugger off!!!
