[Opinions] Re: What do you think of these Scottish island names?
in reply to a message by Vek
Just as a side, I live in Scotland and I've never seen Islay used it on a boy, though I've seen it several times on girls. Despite the spelling it's pronounced EYE-lah, not EYE-lay, and so it's used as a female name like the more popular Isla is.I like Iona, and Skye for either sex. I used to like Harris but I think it's too trendy these days, plus an uncle I don't like much used it for his son ;-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor

I love the name Iona, it was my great aunt's name. She was elegant and beautiful and thus the name reminds me of all of her great characteristics!
