Yay! I adore Orla, my golden girl. :-DMy stock combo for her is Orla Consuelo. I love how it begins and ends with an "o." But it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

I really like it, it's pretty without being too frilly. I personally don't think it needs a nn because it's so short already, but perhaps Orli could work:)

I like it! I just can't help noticing that if you switch the last two letters you get Oral, which could be cause for teasing potential come high school years.

OK someone said Orla Marigold and someone else said Orla Roisin... I just don't think I can beat those suggestions!BRAVO!

I am very fond of the name Órla - I have a good friend with that name. Her name is Órla Nóirín.I like Orla Clare, Orla Rose, Orla Marigold.

I like Orla. I also like Orfhlaith because it seems so unnecessary. :)Orla seems motherly and apron-wearing and a bit rainy, so I'd enjoy it with something to play on that:
Orla Marjorie
Orla Hedwig
Orla Roisin
I really want to say Orla Geraldine, but it might sound a bit awkward. I actually couldn't pair it with a lot of my stock names of that nature because they didn't sound right!But for fun I'll also try to pair it with something more cheerful:
Orla Amy
Orla Penelope
Orla Persephone
Orla Wendy - ooh
