[Opinions] Re: Isola
For me, this name will forever be tied to the adorably, charmingly quriky character of Isola Pribby and her parrot Zenobia in "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". I love this book and the name fits the character to a tee. But using it in real life? Nah, I just can't see that. All I see is the Italian word for island... I think it's just too eccentric for *me*.
Then again, Isla is used. I know, I know, different etymology, history, pronunciation and all that. I guess all I mean to say is... maybe it could work after all.
