Isra has a nice meaning, but I don't like the sound. It sounds harsh. I knew a girl called Isra, and I never liked her name, no matter how nice she was.
I'm not sure about Mona. I don't think I like it.

I've never heard Isra before and I'd have to get used to it before I could decide whether or not I like it. I can't stand Mona. So close to the word "moan." This site says it's an Anglicized form of the Irish Muadhnait (MOO-nat). I think I prefer Muadhnait. The parents should have skipped over the Anglicization and gone for the really authentic, since they obviously wanted to stand out. The two names go together though, they're both two syllable and unusual.

NMS, at all. Isra sounds hissy and serpent-like, Mona is not as bad, but reminds me of "moan". I do not approve.

Isra is great & I have a soft spot for Mona, even if it does sound like moaner. I like the sibset. They're both short, spellable and pronounceable, and not at all boring! Thumbs up.

I agree that Isra is pretty neat. I would be happy using it.

Mona, I have never liked. All i can think of is moaner, moaning... So, yeah. Isra is the lucky one. I dunno how i feel about both girls having names that end in A either. I dont think I reallylike it, not when they are both two syll names as well
