Isla or Sabrina?

[Rubes44]

Should we call our baby girl Isla or Sabrina? We’re having trouble deciding and would really appreciate opinions please! 😊

Isla is very popular where I live but rightly so it’s very pretty.
Sabrina will always be the teenage witch to me but then again I’m old.

I voted Isla, congrats on your baby,

Isla.

Sabrina was a witch

I voted Sabrina. Isla is overdone and a bit nothing-y

I voted Sabrina because there are so many Isla’s at the moment.

There are hundreds of Islas.

I voted Sabrina, because I agree with a pp that Isla, though it's fine, is indeed 'overdone and a bit nothing-y'. Not another Isla please. Up to you though obviously.

Have you considered Serena? Similar sounds to Sabrina but even prettier imo.

Sabina/Sabine is nice.

Isla usis nice enough but there are so many Islas and Lilas.

But this is how it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nobody objects to boys being called Harry. Because it’s a common enough name that people don’t automatically think Harry Potter. Maybe if Sabrina was used more often, there wouldn’t be the automatic association of the teenage witch.

And yes, I voted Sabrina.

usis -> is
Sabrina to me is Kate Jackson - Wikipedia

Witch names are Samantha and Tabitha.

Isla is lovely, if you don’t mind its popularity: Sabrina is a teenage witch and a bit harsh sounding to me. Also, it’s 3 syllables with no obvious nice nn.

Isla is very common. I prefer Serena to Sabrina.

Sabrina is lovely but due to Sabrina Carpenter I wouldn’t go for it. It’s starting to become a name of interest to call your child if that bothers you. Isla is also very popular

Both are pretty names though

Sabrina.

It’s the name of the goddess of the river Severn.

People saying sabrina the teenage witch the only reason we all think that is because where old
Babies being born now will have no clue what that is as its 30 years old. Isla is a pretty name buts it's so overused

We have an almost one year old and we know at least 3 Islas. Haven’t met any Sabrinas so I voted for it. I do like as suggested above Serena.

Caveat: We gave our DS a top 10 name, if you’d like to take the into consideration when I moan how popular Isla is 😂

I voted Sabrina.

I do like Isla but I work in a nursery and we have lots, always referred to as Isla-surname now.

Sabrina is 'different' but recognisable which I really like! No spelling or pronunciation issues whilst being more uncommon.

Agree!

Agree with this.

Sabrina. Without doubt.
I know lots of Isla's. And they get lost amongst all the Orlagh's and Bella's as well.

Both of these names were on my list for DD so we have similar taste OP. DD’s name is Zoya which is the Eastern European/Persian version of Zoe (probably doesn’t help you).

I voted for Sabrina. I fell in love with that name from the Audrey Hepburn film.

Sabrina of the two. Isla is one of those names that is very 2000’s - I’ve never met one older than her twenties, so I think it may date. Whereas I’m not sure Sabrina has ever even made the Top 100 (“teenage witch” references or not) and it’s a classical name.

Way too many Isla’s around here.

Sabrina

Sabrina - it’s a fab name and the teenage witch is a cool association

Saskia is also nice

Isla is nice but there are 60 million of them, so no one appreciates it any more.
