I am normally great at making decisions but this name business is hard!!
I have 3 names that both myself and DH really like, but struggling to decide between them. So thought I'd ask you lovely lot :)
Ayla - pronounced as it looks a-la
Isla
Mya
What are your thoughts, or to confuse me even more and other similar suggestions?
I have two boys called Archie and Harry so a name that goes well with them :)
Thanks!!!

You might want to get this moved to the baby names thread. But I like Ayla.

fixuplooksharp · 25/07/2015 16:23

Thanks, I didn't realise there was one. I'll have a look :)

Though Isla goes better with Archie and Harry!

fixuplooksharp · 25/07/2015 16:25

Isla was our first choice but since then I have heard of a couple local to us, so started thinking of others, it's so hard to decide!

How about Esme, Rosa or Violet? I think they all go with Archie and Harry and are a similar vibe to Isla?

Ayla is lovely but since brother is Archie she should have her own initial. Mya is nice but I'd spell it Maya.

Wishful80sMontage · 25/07/2015 18:15

I like Isla best with the other names :)

eaiand2 · 25/07/2015 18:43

Isla.

The others you'll forever be spelling it and teaching others how to pronounce them!

Stingingthistle · 25/07/2015 18:56

Isla

Ayla by the way is a Turkish name pronounced the same as Isla. So if you want it said as ay-la it might cause confusion.

fixuplooksharp · 26/07/2015 10:29

Thanks everyone :) I think we have now discounted Mya. So just between Ayla and Isla. Is there another way of spelling Ayla?

mila?

plonkie · 26/07/2015 11:53

Aayla? Pretty name. Lots of a's but pretty!

Bin85 · 26/07/2015 11:56

I think it's easier to have 3 different initials for your DC
Think shopping lists
Scoring in games
Post when they are older

fixuplooksharp · 26/07/2015 15:06

Yep good point on the different initials, it would get annoying!
Aayla is a lovely way of spelling it though :)

Archie , Harry and Clara?
I think sound good together and share ar

fixuplooksharp · 27/07/2015 10:14

Ooh Clara, that's a lovely name! Thanks :) I'll mention that one to DH.

If you want to to go (and there's no reason why you should) then I don't think Ayla goes- Archie and Harry are very traditional. I also think you'll have huge prononciAtion issues with Ayla. Go for Isla. Or for something completely different. Lara perhaps? Mia? Sara?

fixuplooksharp · 27/07/2015 11:31

Thanks Bert, I was wondering the same, Ayla is lovely but doens't sound as traditional as Archie and Harry, and I would like an older traditional sounding name to go with them. Isla definitely seems to fit better doesn't it!
