Help[Opinions] Re: Names that are new to the US top 1000
in reply to a message by hello_1234
I thought Cleo and Zoya had been on there for a while. Maybe that shows I'm influenced by British people on here.
I'm also surprised Teo and Emiliana are new what with how popular similar names are.
I think multiple spellings of Kayce are already in the top 1000. It seems crazy popular.
Scottie is disproportionately popular in Utah, if I remember right...or it used to be (along with Stevie, Navy, Aspyn).
Most of them seem ok/interesting. Ila, Kayce, and Scout are my least favorites, and Cillian, Marigold, Ocean, Zoya, Georgina, Sapphire, Rosalina, Cassian are probably my favorites. But I've only met a Guinevere, a Marigold, and a Matteo "Teo", so potentially my opinion could change if I met some.

Ila is supposed to be a phonetic variation of Isla, but it just looks wrong. Iyla is better.
Ila is a Sanskrit name that charted in the 200s in the 1920s.
I'm pretty sure its modern use is a variant of Isla.
Oh, I was thinking ee-la. It looks like a nickname to me.

I think I'd prefer that pronunciation, but I don't love it either way.
