Isla?

[Pipsweet1]

I do like this name but just trying to figure out if it's going to be the Rachel of the 80s in 15years time.

I love the name, but it is incredibly popular at the moment and I do think it will date (outside Scotland). If you like it though, use it!

I had no idea it was so popular down South all of a sudden. It's a beautiful, classic name. As for chavvy

I think it's a gorgeous name but as pp said it can sound like an Island with the wrong surname.

Like Wight, Mann or Dogs

Wow thirtynineweeks you really not keen are you 😂 2 posts stating its chavvy.

OP, I can't help it, the women I know who've called their baby Islam are, in no particular order, 'phet heads, women who go to the shop in their obedience and who smoke at the school gate.

I think it's a nice name, just too popular now for my liking!

*Isla, not Islam

*onesie, not obedience 🔫

Thirtynineweeks, funnily enough the Islas I know have parents who are doctors, nurses, teachers, artists and academics.

But then other than professionally I don't know anyone who uses amphetamine or smokes outside the school gates.

It's a lovely name but it's the most popular where I live (south east). Loads of them! If you don't mind having a super popular name then go for it

I have an Isla.

She's Isla-Mae to be precise, but just gets Isla.

Two of my friends have named their DD's Isla, one of them spelt it Iylah, which j don't like.
