I LOVE Isra! I hadn't really seen Israa before now; I think I still prefer Isra.

I think Israa's a lovely name, and I prefer this spelling to Isra.

Israa... I'm all about the double "a"!!!
And it is a nice name isnt it! It's like a better version of Ira!

I've used Isra in a story of mine before.
I really like it.
I have a book on Turkish names that says it's pronounced eye-ess-rah so that's how I'm saying it. It think it's perfect for a soft Middle Eastern sounding name.

As someone with a lot of friends with Arabic and Farsi names, the double A ending looks perfectly natural to me but I'm sure it throws some people. I don't mind either spelling.

It is a pretty little name, very dainty I've always thought.
