Due a girl soon and we keep going round in circles.. we love all three of these but concerns are:

Isobel - we love this spelling as Scottish on both sides but we live in England, will it forever be spelt differently by people?

April - she is likely to be born this month.. does it matter?

Isla - there are a few around us and know it is probably the more common / popular of the three. Not necessarily a bad thing I guess.

What does everyone prefer? Any girl names along similar lines?

Maybe the problem is you.

Maybe. I just hate the name Isla

There are worse names. I can't stand Lila.

Isla... one of my favs!

April if she’s late and born then

Otherwise Isobel - it’s overused but more of a classic than Isla so stands up to it

Or how about Iona?
