We are struggling to name our new baby and can't decide between Isla or Etta.

Which do you prefer?

OP, you’ll be full of hormones!
Pick the name you love - don’t worry if it’s “too popular”

Congratulations on your baby

My eldest was James throughout my pregnancy and when he was born he looked nothing like it (or anything else on our shortlist) so we went back through the name book and he’s now got a name which wasn’t even on any of our original lists! I LOVE it though and it’s perfect for him...

Maybe widen your search?

@kim love to hear what you went for! :)

We've stuck with Isla! She suits it so much! We live in a small town as well and I've never heard of any other Isla's here. Now to find a middle name!!

Thanks All

Matilda is gorgeous!
