[Opinions] Orla and Isla
I have a brownie unit (7-10 yrs old) and at the moment seem to have a glut of girls called Orla, Isla and Maya. Isla has been popular for a while but Orla and Maya are new ones. Anyway what do you think of Orla, Isla and Maya and what middle names would you use?

I love Maya (pretty popular where I am, but usually spelt Maia), like Isla (have heard it before, but never met one), and am undecided on Orla (it reminds me a bit too much of Norma or Carla, which feel very old-fashioned to me, but it's kind of cute and has a nice meaning.)For middles:
Maya Jade, Maya Simone, Maya Roísín
Isla Wren, Isla Jean, Isla Muriel
Orla Kay, Orla Maeve, Orla Noelle

I prefer Isis and Olya. I like Maia too, but Marie is preferred.

Where I live, Maya has been popular for a while (along with variations) and Isla has also gotten popular, but I've never met an Orla. To me Orla looks like a name I'd expect for a mom or a grandma. It doesn't sound dated, since I've never even met one, but the look and structure of it seem older for some reason.
