I know 7, aged from 2 to 7. I'm not a teacher or child minder etc. They're all either at DS1's nursery or they're friends children. I'm in Scotland. Pretty name but I think it's probably the 'Claire' or 'Lisa' of this generation (I'm a 70's child!).

My DD, she is just about to turn 6, I thought that it was unusual, but there are at least two others in our village school, one other in her year group, turns out I was on trend. It was 30 something in the list of most popular names in 2007.

Just one. My DD. she is half Scottish so we wanted a name which reflected that.

I love the name and so happy we chose it for DD - she's 4. When she was born Isla wasn't even on the popular names list but now its high up there.

About 46 million. Seriously, it seems like they all get called Isla round here.
