Yes, it often isn't used here either I know (though I do have a friend with the name who is very protective of her fada😊) Just checked the stats and in the last three years there were almost 3 times as many babies called Orla rather than Órla, and twice as many called Orlaith rather than Órlaith. Then, of course, there are people that mightn't use the fada day-to-day even though it's on their birth cert. People still pronounce the name as if the fada were there, which is good because in this case the fada does change the meaning of the word.
Personally I think it's a pity not to use it in Ireland at least, but obviously loads of people disagree with me!
