Isla or Ila?

Question

I love love LOVE the “isla” spelling, but I’m afraid it’ll be obnoxious for my child having people mispronounce it all of her life 🥲😂

Answer

It’s a very common name. I don’t think it’ll bring too much trouble.

Answer

Mispronounce that? That’s like someone mispronouncing island… don’t think so. And the other spelling is bad IMO.

Answer

I would pronounce Ila as ill-ah. Not eye-la like Isla is pronounced.

Answer

Isla is the correct spelling so I don't see how it would pose an issue.

Answer

Assuming English is the first language in your country I doubt Isla would be mispronounced

Answer

Go with Isla if that’s the spelling you love. I think the name is pretty common now to where people know how to say it. Ila is pretty too, but even that will get mispronounced.

Answer

My daughter's name is Isla Faye (my hubby has Scottish & Irish heritage). Most people pronounce it correctly, as it is an up and coming name. Every now and then it gets pronounced as IS lah. But it doesn't bother me to correct them and I surely don't think it'll bother her when she's older either.

Answer

She’d definitely have more pronunciation troubles with Ila than with Isla.
In her generation, Isla will not be unusual, so it won’t be hard for people to pronounce. 
I would never have guessed you wanted Ila to be pronounced like Isla though. 
Some alternate options that would work a lot better than Ila if you don’t like Isla: Iyla, Eila.

Answer

It’s a super popular name now so I think everyone generally knows. Ten years ago I think she would’ve faced that, but not now.

Answer

Isla is SOOOOOOOOO common no one will mispronounce it
