Just spell Orla properly, Aurla is ridiculous.

It does indeed sound like retching.

"It's an old Scottish name"

It isn't really, the first recorded use was only in 2008. Even Orla has no real history in Scotland, dating only from the 1960s.

Not sure how I feel about it OP. Seems an unnecessary alternative, but it's pretty common to fanny about with name spellings to create something different so if that's what you like then go for it.

Orla has no history in Scotland , because its an Irish name.

We didn't want Orla as it's very common. Wanted something a bit different. Might be weird in your opinion but we liked it.
