I love it. One of my best friends is named Ayla, but it's pronounced like Iyla. Her parents were fron Istanbul.

Iyla is a very pretty name. Doh it's my friend's daughter's name. She spells it Aila ai meaning love in Japanese and la (ra) meaning good. I knew I liked it.

Why wouldn't they use the traditional spelling of Isla, though? I hate kr8tiv spellings. (And yes, I know that's ironic based on my own name, but I think that gives my opinion more weight: PARENTS, DON'T DO THIS TO YOUR KIDS!) Because that could be either Ila or Eesla?

Variations of Iyla are popular here. I have heard worse, ABCDE comes to mind. this one is, regretfully, catching on.

Maybe it's regional? I feel like around here people would pronounce that name Is-la.

Isla, pronounced Eye-la, is a traditional Scottish name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_(given_name) It's a perfectly normal, popular name here.

I was just coming on to say the very same thing! It's a name I always loved and would have called DD, but it doesn't go with my surname at all.

Why? Her first name is pretty normal, and they will most likely not call her by her first and middle names. The first day of school and lots of subs comes to mind. Our kids attendance rosters always printed the whole name. Subs oftentimes read the entire name. It runs together so fluently I can see it happening. I oftentimes called my classroom kids by their middle names too when were doing something they shouldn't instead of getting angry at them. I have the opposite problem... My kids have two names. Are registered with two names. Have both names listed under "preferred name". But ever person tries calling them by one name only.

Iyla (and any other spelling variations) is definitely gaining in popularity, so the first name on its own is pretty basic, even trendy sounding. The combo is a bit much for me, personally, but really, if a parent wants to go cutesie or clever with their kids' names, at least this one has a nice message behind it. My BFF had a baby a few months ago and named her Eila which she pronounces as Iyla. I've never heard it, but I think it's a pretty name. That spelling reminds me of names like Eileen or Eilish, where the "ei" makes the long I sound.

When spelled Isla, it is viewed as a Scottish name, but other people can spell it according to their own ethnic backgrounds or just personal preference. Ei & Ay are both traditional ways to spell out the "eye" sound from non-Scottish backgrounds. "Iyla" may be the way they felt it would most likely be pronounced as they wished it to be. Adjusting spellings for easier pronunciation is a very old practice. Think of people who came to this country and changed their names to make them easier for their neighbors or coworkers to learn or just to better fit in in their new country. Similar idea.

Isla was up really high on my girls name list when I was pregnant. But not paired with that middle name.

Eh, it's certainly not the worst I've ever heard. I'm used to seeing it spelled "Isla" but either way it's quite pretty. And like others have mentioned, it is not very common for people to refer to somebody using their full name including middle name, so most people will not realise that it's supposed to be "I Love You".
If you compare it to the other names mentioned in the article (Pilot Inspektor, Audio Science, and North West) I think this little baby got off lightly!

Add me to the list of people who have no clue who those 'celebrities' are.
I like the first name Iyla but I'm not a fan of Iyla Vue.
I would pronounce the name Isla like EES la, but that's probably because I live in the southwest and would use the Spanish pronunciation over Scottish. I think Isla means island in Spanish.
I love the Name and spelling of Eila!

Well, the first name as a stand alone isn't truly horrible.
If both names are constantly said together, well, awkward for anyone who isn't mommy & daddy. (Could you imagine a teacher in a classroom full of kids calling on her?
But, my heart goes out to daughter #1. Can you imagine what she'll be thinking in ten years' time?
I am named Ada. Just plain ole A-Da. This is my cute adorable, most loved sister Iyla Vue. I.Love.You.

That baby is beautiful!
I have no idea who her parents are, and I have no problem with Ilya Vue (each word pronounced separately and only pronounced I Love You at home).
If the parents expect people to call the kid I Love You, they should just dress her in clown clothes and make the package complete.

Since they broke up the name that way, I am guessing that she will be Iyla to the world but to her parents "I love you".

I think Iyla is a beautiful name - in fact it's one of my favourite names. Its the middle name that's ridiculous when added to Iyla.
