[Opinions] Re: Isla
When I first saw the written pronunciation of this name a few months ago, I said, "Oh! It's Eye-Luh, not Is-luh". I think this is a harder name to pronounce simply because people take it for face value, instead of realizing it is like aisle or island. My names that I stole from myself were Bryony (geez, why couldn't this be Bree-onie), Anais (realized that my friend's younger sister's pronunciation of Uh-nay-see is NOT standard), and Declan (It took me months to hear this somewhere---on a TV show no less---pronounced as De-clan, not Dee-clan).
