Ee-la

[misamisa]

Ok so my sister is supposed to be naming her daughter EE-la, not eye-la, and is getting very angsty with me for being utterly confused about how to spell it.

So, my question is how would you spell a name pronounced ee-la?

I'll let you know how she's spelling it after.

Ila

real.

Eelah
Aiolah

Noooo! Real was an auto correct

I'd spell it Eela

Eilah?

Isla (although I'd normally pronounce that eye-la).

ee-dash-la?!

Ila.

I'm guessing it's going to be Isla, though I would usually pronounce that Eye-la.

To get an Ee-la pronunciation I can only imagine Eela, Elah, Ela, Ilah??

My great aunt Ee-la was spelt Elia. But that's the West Country for you.

Ila or maybe aoila

Eylah.
Eilar.
Eeeeelaaaa.

Yla?

Eila (Like Sheila but without the SH)

...why don't you just ask your sister how she intends to spell it?!

The op knows quim-she wants to she how we'd spell it then she'll tell us the answer afterwards.

Sounds like a tellytubby!!

I get so irritated with people who don't read the OP properly and then make a totally boneheaded reply right under it.

Sorry OP

Isla.

I'd pronounce it Eye-la the first time I saw it written down, but Ee-la after that. It's no more confusing than Caitlin or Francesca or Claudia which can also be pronounced in various ways.

Is we-la even a valid pronounciation? Isla is a tradional name with a well known pronounciation
I'' not aware of an EE-la variant?

Eala.

I'm now intrigued as to what other pronunciation there is of Caitlin and Francesca...

I'd pronounce it 'eel-a' and Isla 'eye-la'

Spam88 - bit ironic but said sister's name is Francesca pr Fran-ches-ca, but often at the dentist and suchlike it is pronounced fran-sess-ca or Fran-kes-ca... not that I've ever heard of them being "proper" pronunciations.

As for Caitlin, it's either Kate-lynn or Kat-lynn with Kat-lynn being the traditional one.

Quim no worries
