Home counties. Can't move for Isla's at the school (primary). 1 Ada.

I'm scottish and loved Isla, but it is stupidly popular which has somewhat ruined it. We went for Iona. She's now 5 and we are complimented daily re her name. Never known another one.

2 Islas and 1 Ada

posh northern area

Love the name Isla...only know one and she's in her 20s now. Not so keen on Ada and don't know any.
