Esme or Isla

[mandbaby]

We can't decide between the two. Esme (pronounced dismay) or Isla.

Which do you prefer?

Isla

Stupid autocorrect!!! Ezzmay not dismay.

I prefer Esme because Isla means island in spanish, and that's not such a lovely association imo.

They are both gorgeous names and it's a really tough decision but I would have to go for Isla.

Isla

Isla

Isla.

Esme

I actualy prefer Isla but popularity would bother me. Therefore esme.

Shakemysilliesout that is exactly what I think too. Isla looks so pretty written down and goes beautifully with the middle name we've chosen and our surname, but I don't want her to be one of 3 or 4 in her class or have people thinking "I'm sick of hearing that name".

Well, DS had six Isla's in his nursery class, he moved to preschool and now there are seven (diff kids).

DS has a popular classic name, but round here the Isla/Islay/Eila thing is getting a bit out of control!

Esme is cute, but also would work when older.

Esme.

It's a nicer name plus Islas are everywhere.

Esme

Esme for me ... but Isla is nice. Esme just edges it.

Esme is my favourite.

I prefer Esme too, although apparently that is also v popular.

Esme! Isla is way too popular now

Definitely Esme.

Or how about Esther?

Def Esme, not keen on Isla.

Currently lots of Islas

Both too popular. How about Estelle?

Esme

Esme.

Not bothered about Isla.
