Question!
in reply to a message by Isla
I thought it 'charted' before? There's definitely Islas born at the turn of the 20th century and looking at the statistics on this site, it seems to appear. I know use goes back almost another hundred years in Britain but I'm still more curious about its use in the United States.

You're rightI never realized that. I just looked it up, and it did hit the U.S. charts in the late 1800s and very early 1900s coming in at #600+. I wonder if that was mostly Scottish immigrants' daughters born here in the U.S. :b

That's probably quite true. It's nice to know it charted beforeNot just a "one off wonder" that some like to claim it is.The earliest female Isla I have found so far was 1800 but that was Scotland. Obviously a few male Islays go earlier than that.
