just looking for some ideas.
I really like Isla but DH thinks it's an old lady name.

love isla....adore isabella.x

Inga

I am biased though as my gran has that name

I just think it will be a bit more unusual without being too out there than the usual Isobel etc

tryingtocookacurry · 21/08/2008 19:43

I love love love the name Isla, there is a little girl who goes to my DD's childminder called Isla!

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 21/08/2008 19:46

Sorry but Inga reminds me of "I am Inga frum Sveden" of "plis to 'elp me vith my rook suck?" fame! (Trading Places )

My neice is Iona named after the island. V. pretty.

hw2004 · 21/08/2008 19:46

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 21/08/2008 19:46

Yes Isla's beautiful. As in Isla Fisher who is v.pretty.

travellingwilbury · 21/08/2008 19:56

Fair point Shiny

I will never look at my 90 yr old gran in quite the same way

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 21/08/2008 19:57

No offence intended to your Gran TW .. it's jsut what I associate Inga with.. Trading Places being an all time favourite of mine

I know an Iola, which I think is a lovely name

TheFamilyFromOneEndStreet · 21/08/2008 23:06

I knew a girl called Italia (don't think there was any Italian connection). Also, there was a character in an Anne Fine book called Ione.

struwellpeter · 21/08/2008 23:13

How about Ione? I-owe-nee. More unusual than Iona.
