How would you pronounce Ayla?

Would definitely pronounce it with a hard A instead of an “I” sound.

I would think about how others will see her name on paper & pronounce it wrong all the time & spell it in the way that would stop that from happening 😂😍

I'd say Ay-la but if you want different spelling for Isla I'd go with Iyla

I've only ever heard it pronounced Ay-la. I've seen it spelt Iylah before which I think looks nice x

My niece is named Ayla, and we pronounce it Aye-lah.

Agreed like Layla, Ay-la. As much as a cool spelling is unique I do think we are doing our future babes a favour when we go for the most obvious spelling. I'm in Scotland so Isla would be the obvious choice.
My surname is constantly mispronounced and spelt wrong and it is annoying.

I said it like Isla in my head

I’d pronounce it with a hard A, “A-la”. If you’re wanting “Eye-la” is recommend spelling it the traditional “Isla” or it will just annoy you having to correct people all the time unfortunately.

My baby’s name is actually Ayla! We pronounce it with an “I”

Im a teacher and I would pronounce it with an 'A'. I would choose either Isla or Iyla if you want the Eye-la sound to the name :) xxxxxxx

I initially thought eye-la but not sure if it's more like ay-la

I would pronounce it Aaay-la if I saw the name Ayla.

How about spelling it Aila? Might get more of a chance in the pronunciation you want.

Ay-la, I’d say it how it’s spelt

I’d also pronounce it as Ay-la. I knew a girl who spelt her name Ilar (pronounced like Isla - in Australia, I see how the R may be more pronounced in North American accented)

All u need is an h ..! Ahyla is cute and will be pronounced how you want it too . Ahlah also

My brain went ay-la when I saw it and then self corrected to Isla afterwards so I think you will have a complete mixture of pronounciations and people probably stumbling initially when they see her name written down.
Personally I think it's a really lovely way of spelling Isla and if you like it I would use it xxx

Ay-la like Layla, agree if you want eye-La you would be better to go for Isla 😊

Phonetically I’d say (A-la) but personally I could totally see it being (EYE-la) and I would have probably guessed (A-la) then asked if it was (EYE-la). So I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong but I do think people will say (A-la) first

i would pronounce Ayla more like Ayy-Lah than Eye-Lah.

maybe Eila as a spelling if you're not keen on Isla. even Aila i trhink i would be more likely to pronounce correctly, it's the "y" that would cause me to assume it was pronounced like Layla, without the L. 💕

I would say eye-la. Again, maybe it’s being Scottish and saying “Aye” makes me automatically go to Eye-la rather than A-la. Also for me, Isla would be a little different too. The I would be much sharper/shorter than Eye-la, more of a Iy than a Eye but it’s so hard to explain over writing

definitely aye-la

I would say it like my name, eye-la. I've had a couple instances where people have misspelt my name as Ayla.
I love unique names so would go for it. I had an unusual name growing up since Isla has only become popular in the past 10 years or so and loved it. My partner has an unusual spelling and complains about it all the time but really he loves it because he gets to tell all these funny stories about it constantly 😅

I would absolutely pronounce be pronouncing Ayla as a-la.
I personally don’t understand how people would get eye-la from the spelling Ayla.

I think the only way to get eye-la would be Isla, to me I personally like the spelling.

Eye-luh, spelled Aila

I’d pronounce it like Isla but English grammar suggests it should probably be pronounced Ay-la

My god daughter is Ayla. (Aye -La) never had someone call her Isla.
We are UK so May differ in US but they are different names for the spellings entirely. Good luck 🤞🏻
