I named my 6 month old daughter Isla Clementine and I still love it – I think it’s such a pretty, girly name. I hope she thinks so too when she’s older and doesn’t hate me because she’ll probably always have to spell it!

I’m the only Isla I know, although I have had a few little girls named after my name. Not too happy with its popularity rising, although that may mean that it will be mis-pronounced less often.

It was actually my grandmother’s name only she spelled it Ilah. I have never been able to find it spelled that way in any baby name books – so now I wonder if her parents heard the name “Isla” and thought it was spelled Ilah? Interesting.
