Love love love it. Seems to be getting quite popular now.

Bacofoil · 29/08/2010 12:41

Lovely name as long as it's not pronounced Iz-la.

SmacsGonePotty · 29/08/2010 12:48

Lovely name. Quite popular in Scotland but lovely nonetheless.
I like it with the names you have listed as they all have a different ending (and different first initial for that matter!)

RabbitAndCo · 29/08/2010 12:52

Lovely. My cousin has an Isla and an Oliver, think it goes well together.

PaulineCampbellJones · 29/08/2010 13:03

Love Isla and goes really well with your others.

Think it's very popular now, I know 3 all under 4 yrs old. Think it's getting a bit over used now but it's a nice name so that's why it popular! It is pretty but a lot of people will inevitably mispronounce it and call her Izla!

Sorry but I find it very current. Not as classic as your children's names.

tassisssss · 29/08/2010 14:32

Lovely!

PosieParker · 29/08/2010 14:32

Lovely, I know two.

SmacsGonePotty · 29/08/2010 14:44

Shock do people seriously say Izla ????
Do they also say Izland for Island?

tummytickler · 29/08/2010 15:17

Agree with Norman, it is very current and imo it will be one of those names that really dates more than others (along with Lola, Evie, etc).
It is nice enough, but I think you need something more classic with your other dc's.
Georgina is something that comes to ming immediately.

MALIMOO78 · 29/08/2010 15:24

Yes people do say Izla. I have a Iolo and I get I OLO rather that the Welsh Iolo (Pronounced yollow)

Isla is OK but I prefer Iona.

tummytickler · 29/08/2010 22:44

Oh - I think Constance / Connie fits beautifully with your other dc's names - great choice!

horatia · 29/08/2010 22:51

Yes Constance/Connie is a lovely name :) And it goes well with the others as tummytickler says.
