I like it, and since it has the same pronunciation I think it should be the form of the name used. However, people will always assume the other spelling because they are ignorant of the original. My friend (Iona) and her siblings are all named after Scottish islands and Islay is the only one who really has trouble. Also, the computer recognises Isla, but puts a red line under Islay!

Pronounced just like Isla, but I find this variant so much more attractive for some reason. DH and I honeymooned near Islay, so this would be a beautiful, meaningful middle name option for us.

What do you mean, only in a Scottish accent?

Just Isla is very pretty & straight forward

This is a boys name. It's the male form of Isla. Islay is the name of the island that the name Isla is also derived from. As far as I can tell, it's pronounced like "isla" but only if you have a proper Scottish accent.

Change the A to an E and pronounce it like Eisley.

Is it pronounced eye-lay?
I know an Islay, and she has to constantly correct people when they say IS-LAY instead if EYE-LA. I think it is a very pretty name though, just something to bear in mind :)
