opinions on the name Ayla

[rachelhobson]

I quite like the name Ayla (pronounced Isla) but I’m not sure wether it just seems like a misspelled version of Isla.

I prefer the spelling Isla and think it's a lovely name. Ayla to me just looks wrong pronounced Isla, I would just say Aa-la

Seems a bit bland to me, and very like so many popular names out there, as others have said - Isla, , Ava, Aria, Arya/Ariyah, Arlia, Mila, Lila - are everywhere.

I don't like it... It's dull, will get lost in the sea of Isla's, Ella's, Mia's, etc, and it will probably always be pronounced wrong (I'd never pronounce a word spelled like that as 'Isla', i'd definitely say 'Ay-luh'

Definitely reminds me of Clan of the Cave Bear.

I know a lovely Ayla of Turkish heritage, she is always having her name mispronounced though. But I think it’s a fab name.
