Help[Opinions] Isla
I work at an animal shelter and we had a dog named Isla. The girl who named her pronounced it EES-luh. Every time I said it was pronounced EYE-luh, I would get weird looks. Also heard it pronounced is-luh and el-suh by the public. I eventually got some of my co-workers to pronounce it EYE-luh, by saying it's "like island". I guess it had never occurred to me that Isla was such a challenge to pronounce. My question is, is Isla such a difficult name? If you weren't/aren't in the know, how would you pronounce it?
It's funny, because I got so excited when I saw what the dog had been named, then get it all stolen when I realized no one knew how to pronounce it. Anyone else discover a name like that?
Also discovered one of my co-workers--if she ever decided to have children--would name her daughter Aila, pronounced the same as Isla.
