Isla

Meaning: (Island, A Beautiful Paradise, Scottish River)

Origin: (Spanish, Scottish, English)

Pronunciation: (eez-lah, eye-luh)

Gender: Female

The other day on Yahoo Answers I recommended this name along with some others. Most people gave the pronunciation as eye-luh and I gave it as eez-lah. We are all right as most will pronounce it as eye-luh because of the English and Scottish association. But in Spanish Isla is pronounces eez-lah. Personally I think the pronunciation eye-luh sounds like a type of eye surgery. "I have to go get an eye-luh surgery today." But either pronunciation is correct. I think the name is short and pretty.
