We found out we are having a girl! These are my top girl names, but I have not searched for names yet. Our son is a popular boys name. Throw some girl names my way

@SugarMaple: It's actually really fun! You put in names you like and it generates a list of similar names.
Oh and I voted for Stella because while I LOVE Isla, Stella is much easier to spell.

It's a really close call between Isla and Stella for me. I voted Stella in your poll though. I still encounter a lot of people who have trouble pronouncing Isla.

My favorite from the list is Alexa, though I wonder how much people associate it with the amazon voice thing.
@catgirl: I recently listened to an audiobook where the narrator mispronounced Isla throughout, drove me nuts!

@Anya: That would make me insane. A friend from high school recently had a little girl and named her Isla. She has major regret because the vast majority of people mispronounce it. But I do think it is becoming more common so hopefully people will have more exposure to it.

@Anya: eek, I didn't think of the Amazon connection. Good point!
@catgirl: @catgirl: @Coral: True. When I mentioned Isla to my husband he took a second and said, "spelled like the beginning of island right?" I was hoping that since he figured it out pretty quick just by hearing it was ok. I like names that are clear tho...

Stella is on our list! Love it. Isla is very pretty and I also have a soft spot for Paige

I just went with my gut and voted Paige but truly they're all nice. It depends on your last name.

Love Isla or Stella with Jade or Paige as a middle name! Isla is a bit less common if that matters. I know several baby Stellas born in the last four years and only know one Isla.

The spelling/ pronunciation problem with Islam would drive me crazy, even though I really like it.
I chose Alexa but fair warning, people will say Alexis by accident. A lot.

I chose Alexa but I did not think of amazon's Alexa! Why they gotta take a nice name like Alexa....

We have the Amazon Alexa. We call on her daily for numerous tasks. Do NOT choose that name. I actually accidentally called my daughter Alexa the other day!!

Would it be "Eye-la" or "Iz-la/Is-la"
What about Alena, Amelia?
You could solve the Alexa problem by getting a google home

I love Paige. That has been my "girl" name since I was a kid. I found out I'm having a boy ... maybe next time
