Isla?

[physicsfan]

Well actually which name do you prefer and what do you think of our shortlist please:

Isla
Cleo
Cassia
Margot
Cecily

I can't stand Cecily. I know a little girl called Cecily and it's always shortened to Cece, pronounced cess, like in cesspit.

Cleo is the standout name on your list I think.

My 2nd choice would be Cassia.

And I agree with a pp who suggested Celia and Iona as better alternatives to Cecily and Isla.

Isla is lovely and would be my first choice from your list. Who gives a shit if it is popular? I never get why that apparently means you should avoid using it on here.

Cassia is nice too.

Margot is the nicest. Agree with previous posters that Isla is incredibly popular, but if you love it you may regret not using it.

It depends where you live. My goddaughter is 5 and she lives in the Home Counties. She goes to a girls’ school. In her class, there are: Edie, Evie, Eva, Ava, Isla, Isla Rose, another Isla, Bella, Belle, Lily Rose and Lily.
