Isla Grace or Layla Grace?

[Crystal15]

I can't decide!

Thanks everyone. I actually picked Isla as I know no other Islas and there isn't one at my DC school of 400. It definitely must be regional hmm. We don't know the sex of our baby so picking a name for each. Haven't found one nice boys name!

My eldest is a Layla,she's 16 now & named after the Clapton song.And my youngest has the second name Grace.So you can guess what I would choose!!

Layla Grace.

With this spelling. Layla is the original, not Leila.

Have Isla, but not Isla Grace, or any middle name with a G!

Isla Grace = I Slag Race. NO no no no no.

I taught three Isla's last year and two this year. I love it and it was one of our name choices but it's too popular for me.

Layla.

Wutang your way over thinking it!

I'm just reading the letters... Isla G Surname. Sla G kinda leaps out.

Layla is a much prettier and more unusual name. Less likely to be one of several in school.

Much prefer Isla.
Different middle name possible?

I think that's just you.

Isla is so over used and Grace is a dull 'filler' middle name.

Leila/ Layla is nice.

Claudia?

Wutang is right....secondary school would be hell!

What about Lyla (pronounced Lie-la)?

There is no original spelling of Layla. It's an Arabic name meaning any spelling has been translated from Arabic characters and as long as it's phonetic then it's correct. Layla, laila, Leila are all correct.

No one in school will even notice her middle name...

I don't think any of my friends would know my middle name, because it's never used.

And I think it says more about you noticing the word slag in Isla Grace than it does about the rest of us who didn't notice. I still don't know how you managed to comb that out of the name. It's hardly glaringly obvious.

I prefer Isla grace but go with the one that YOU love x

Incorrect, Poldarks.

The closest translation of the word 'night' is 'laylah'. I don't know about you, but Layla looks closer to laylah than Leila does.

I like both but because she will always have to spell Leyla / Leila I'd go for Isla.

I was wondering if combining Isla and Layla into Lila would work, and remembered that Kate Moss has a Lila Grace.

I like Layla, or how about Grace as a first name?

Isla, not keen on Layla at all

Isla Grace

I'm having a Lyla Grace in the next few weeks

Layla Grace. Surely the Isla obsession is over now

Layla.

Isla is overused beyond belief. And the Leila I know constantly gets 'Lee-la'.

Are you interested in alternative middle name suggestions? Grace is very 'filler', like Rose or May.

Isla Grace
