Is it nice? Common? Overused?

Love your opinions and perhaps some alternatives that are similar

Milk! Factory of the edge of Leeds!

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/02/2023 20:34

It’s an industrial dairy products firm.

How about Ida?

My daughter has an Arla in her class, I can't get away from the fact that it's a dairy company!

It's a brand of yogurt

I used to work for them, big dairy company!!
so no. It would be a pretty name otherwise I suppose
Orla??

princessrapunzel · 28/02/2023 07:19

I loved the name... then googled it and saw the link to the milk company, i was gutted as its really pretty, but just couldnt do it to my daughter

Aria20 · 28/02/2023 07:24

I think it sounds pretty but unfortunately it is the dairy company. That said, people do use flora as a name!

Also really like Carla and Aria (Ah-ree-ah)

Whydoitry · 28/02/2023 08:14

I think of milk too, but even if it wasn't a dairy company I find it a bit nothingy. Blends in with Isla, Ella, Orla.

Giggorata · 28/02/2023 08:22

Even if it were not a well known dairy, I wouldn't like it as much as Orla, Isla, Alia or Ella, if you want the ‘L’ sound.

Billslills · 28/02/2023 09:31

What about Arna?

ibunofit · 28/02/2023 09:31

Ooh, I like it!

Lunabetty · 28/02/2023 09:54

I think it's a lovely name!

xprincessxjanetx · 01/03/2023 01:54

Milk.

alexdgr8 · 01/03/2023 01:56

sounds like a dairy.

Magenta82 · 01/03/2023 02:20

2 pints of milk and a pot of yoghurt please.

Daisychained8 · 01/03/2023 05:38

It’s a brand of dairy products

Pirrin · 01/03/2023 05:44

You've got the message by now that it's a dairy company I expect!

That said, I remember looking at their milk when I was pregnant and thinking Arla would be a nice name, so you're not alone!

I know a little Amla, if you like that?

LunaMay · 01/03/2023 06:15

Its the name of a family members dog

hoophoophooray · 01/03/2023 06:22

I know an Alla, which is pronounced like that.

ShandaLear · 01/03/2023 06:26

RedRiverShore3 · 27/02/2023 16:39
