my Dds nursery class - 3 year olds: 2 x Isla 1 x Ayla and 4 x Ada. I also know 3 colleagues who each have an Ada. Work in London, live in Bucks. Ada seems to be super super popular around here.

Lots of Islas no Adas in South West

LocalHobo · 08/05/2023 16:21

2 little Ada's - Amsterdam.
I only know Isla's that are now teens (2 again).

17caterpillars1mouse · 08/05/2023 16:34

I don't know any Islam's as such but it's a name I hear alot at the park, soft play, swimming sessions etc

I know 2 Ada's under 3

The name I know the most of for baby's ATM is Ivy

PickledScrump · 08/05/2023 18:09

2 Islas- one 5, one 15. No Ada’s but absolutely loads of Ava’s, which I think makes Ada seem more popular.

midlands

InTheFutilityRoomEatingBiscuits · 08/05/2023 18:13

I know 14 Islas between 0-10 years and two more who are around 16.

I know 5 Ada’s and they are all under 4.

phishfoodforlife · 08/05/2023 18:15

None under 3 but I know two Islas and 3 Adas aged between 5 and 12

evtheria · 08/05/2023 18:18

NW England here: about 10 Islas/Aylas, if not more... ages range from 16 down to toddlers. A few Ada-s, but they're part of a longer name eg Ada-Mae, Ada Rose.

triplechocbrownie · 08/05/2023 18:28

I don't know any Adas and have met only one Isla

Phos · 08/05/2023 18:29

I know of one Ada (school friend's kid) who will probably be about 10 now. I don't know any other Adas and have never come across an Isla in my life.

FlounderingFruitcake · 08/05/2023 18:29

6 Islas that I know reasonably well, plus umpteen that I come across at the park etc.
Never met an Ada.

2chocolateoranges · 08/05/2023 18:30

I work in early years and know 3 Islas and an Ada under 5yrs old.

Fandabedodgy · 08/05/2023 18:32

Isla - loads but I'm in Scotland
Ada - none

SellFridges · 08/05/2023 18:32

Four or five of each. Ava never seemed that popular around here, same with Amelia. I don’t know a single Ava or Amelia.

unicorncrumble · 08/05/2023 18:34

Gistbury · 08/05/2023 18:42
