Ayla vs. Ajla vs. Aila

All three are pronounced IY LA. We are deciding on the spelling! I also like Eilah, which is Hebrew, but may be a bit confusing?

I'm confused, is the name supposed to be pronounced like Isla (eye-luh)? I'm not sure what sound IY is supposed to make.

Ayla is "Ay-lah" to me. Aila maybe works. I do prefer Isla or Eila.

I voted for Ayla in the poll, but seeing the other option of Eilah, I may actually prefer that! It's beautiful.

I would pronounce these Ay-la. The pronunciation you want would be Isla. Eilah may work though.

Eyla or Eylah?

All are super confusing. Go with Isla if you want eyeluh.

Eila or I-la are options if not Isla as in island.

Definitely NOT a fan..I can never pronounce these

They are all pronounced like "eye" la. Isla is not a part of our culture and no one would say it correctly.

Eilah is actually less confusing to me. Ayla would be the next best.

I would say all of these as Ay-la so Eilah would be the best option to get the pronunciation you want

Ajla. I think the other two will be constantly mispronounced by not just people outside of your culture but in your culture as well.
