Hi looking for some help with a name for a baby girl.

Vaila - Vay-lah, the name of a Scottish island
Aila - ay-lah (like Layla without the first L)

I know they are so similar but we can’t decide and need some opinions! Or suggestions!

I know a few girls called Ayla, pronounced like Aila. It’s getting popular. I prefer Vaila.

I think Vaila sounds more interesting. Aila will get Isla/Layla

or Ella
