Like Isla best. The others are okayish, but Isla is especially nice. And not too common (know of one Isla rounnd here)

I know of 3 Islas all under 2 living in our district (so will presumably all be in the same class!)

I like Isla but I would put a real money bet on it being in teh top 5 girls names within a couple of years. Having said that I am thinking of giving it to DD2 as her middle name but we will use the Turkish spelling (for family reasons) which is Ayla.

All are lovely, particularly like Madeline and Isla, although Imogen is still pretty. My sister in law works at a nursery though and said there are quite a few Isla's coming in now.

Imogen.

nuthacuppatea · 20/10/2008 18:55

Madeleine!

I know an imogen who has been called Imodium as a nickname.

i love Imogen, shortened to Midge.

Pinktastic · 05/11/2008 10:58

Biased towards Imogen as this is my DD's Sunday name. She is known as Mo the rest of the time !!

purplemonkeydishwasher · 05/11/2008 11:00

no no no
have you not seen the otehr thread?
you can't use Isla. it's MINE. sheesh!!

(you can guess which i like best!!)

zazen · 05/11/2008 11:04

What's a Sunday name Pinktastic? And why? Am curious

I like Imogen and Isla equally, but will always think of little Madeline McCann.

Pinktastic · 05/11/2008 11:07

A Sunday name is like your Sunday best. As children we always wore our Sunday best clothes to go to church and then visit grandparents. It's a common phrase where I live.

Didn't mean to confuse...

twoluvlykids · 05/11/2008 11:11

Madeline

definitely

it's my dd's name, spelt that way, too

nickname Maddie, Mad, or Mads.

sometimes Mad Lizzie

zazen · 05/11/2008 11:19

Oh I see! I'd never heard that phrase before are you presbyterian / in Scotland?

Pinktastic · 05/11/2008 11:23

Roman Catholic in the Midlands !

zazen · 05/11/2008 21:42

Oh right Pinktastic off on both counts then!

On reflection tessothedurbevilles, I prefer Imogen - I also like Iseult or Isolde, and I also like Tess...
