Warning: 'Isla' stars in not just one, but TWO Barbie films

Just noticed as I have been subjected to these recently (dd going through a phase, I hope it's a phase). Interested me as I thought it quite a trendy rather than Barbie-ish name (like Hadley, Blair and Janessa).

There are Barbie FILMS? Thanks for watching them so we don't have to.

Some of them aren't too bad actually. Real fairy tales. The 12 dancing princesses is good! I got ds1 one when he was 5 and now dd is 3 she watches it every day.

Hell, I have three dds. The oldest barbie obsessed, dd2 called Isla. I hate barbie and am trying to deny her existance, but when dd1 finds this out, she's gonna be pissed!

Hmm, see I don't think of Isla as a trendy name as I went to school with one and I'm nearly 38. I am aware that it is popular now, but still, it feels like an old name to me.

Isla has suddenly become popular, so I do think of it as faddy.

Of course Isla is faddy. Nice name tho..

Iona and Ianthe are nice names, and not overused :)
