Thoughts???

Hi girls!
Struggling so much with girl names, there's barely any I like! After what seemed like forever we both love the name Arla, but after research found out it's a dairy company!😩
So me and OH agreed if this was the name we chose we would spell it Arlagh (no question about it)
So I just want to know if you was introduced to a little girl named Arlagh would you instantly think dairy farm???

Never even crossed my mind about diary !! So what anyway ? It’s a lovely name . Go for it ! But don’t spell it like That, just keep it as Arla

I really don't like the spelling Arlagh. I probably wouldn't think of dairy but I'd be thinking what an ugly looking name.
If you must...it say go Arla.

I'd

Or actually I'd consider adding a 'C' and going Carla.
No issues with dairy and sounds similar.

I've never heard of the dairy farm if you like Arla just go for it. Even if a dairy farm called Arla exists now it might not when your child has grown up.

I would wonder why you've made up a name. And then I would indeed associate it with the dairy company.

Arla isn't a dairy farm, it's a huge international dairy company. They make Lurpak and Anchor amongst other products.

I wouldn't think of the dairy company. I'd spell it Arla. Arlagh looks as though you let out a strangled scream at the registrar when registering the birth and she wrote down the best approximation of what she heard.

I’ve never heard of the dairy company.

Don’t like Arlagh. Just looks like a made up version of Orlagh.

Yes, I'd think of the dairy company. Definitely use that spelling of you go for it though, I agree with PP that Arlagh looks like aargh.

Alva?

Arla is better than arlagh. Carla? Darla? Marla?

I don't know of the dairy company so have no association with the name. Also, I don't mind either spelling.

Muller could be a good alternative?

Joking.... I like Arla and don’t associate it with dairy

Like a pp said there are loads of Floras about!

Call her Arla if you love it just don't use that horrible spelling with the gh.

I would assume that Arlagh was pronounced Ar-lag.

Arla much better but yes I would think of the dairy products.

How about
Ayla
Alba
Ayda

I'd think of milk or yoghurt. Often see the Arla logo on the bottle.

Arlagh looks really ugly, sorry. Reminds me of a cartoon character going "Aaarrgghhh!"

Such vile comments about Irish name spelling, how ignorant.

I like Arla. It's on my list too. I do know of the dirt company and regularly see Arla lorries. But I don't care and I still would use the name. Arlagh looks dreadful please don't lump and actual human with that spelling. Just spell it it normal way. Spelling it 'creatively' doesn't change what it is. It just makes it looks silly.

WorldEndingFire- oh do shut up! It isn't an Irish name or spelling! The OP has made up you fruit loop!

OP - there is an Orc in some kind of fantasy thing called Arlagh...

Oh dear, an orc name wouldn’t be great.😆

Arla is okay as it is. One wouldn’t write Annagh, Soniagh, Emmagh.

Never heard of the dairy company.

Not an anagram of Oral and not after a dairy Co either...
Thousands of names op.....

@WorldEndingFire so we're only allowed to say that 'English' names sound and/or look horrible if we think that? And we have to love every name from every other country in the World just because they are from that country?

Grow the fuck up.

Yes I would, and If Orla won't fit with your last name the chances are that Arla won't either. After all they're not that different. Think Emilia /Amelia.
