Definitely not. There’s no confusion between Ellie and Ally, so I don’t see why Ayla and Isla would get confused.

In middle school I had two friends named Ella and Ayla. It wasn’t confusing.

I know a little Ayla whose name is pronounced the same as Isla and it definitely does cause confusion between the her and the two other Islas in the group. Pronounced with a long A (which is how most people read it before she corrects them), there would probably be less confusion.

Only if you're pronouncing it the same as Isla. Otherwise I don't think there would be any issues - apart from the inevitable occasional mishearing of course, but that happens to everyone at some point.

It may be confused for Isla. However, it would be pronounced with a long A where I am. At least, that’s how I pronounce Ayla. Exactly like Kayla, Layla, or Jayla without a K, L, or J.
