Orla is a nice name but as an Irish person living in England it grates on my when it is pronounced 'Ola' where the 'r' was dropped. The 'r' is such a significant part of the name that it doesn't sound nice otherwise imo.

Those names are wildly different! Not saying that's bad or anything.

Anyway, I prefer Orla.

@Firelogbridge I've said the name 10 times out load I don't think I say the O, I say R-La! Accents are a funny thing aren't they. I lived in SE England for a good while I can def imagine my friends saying O-La
