I love islands and Isola isn't bad, although I wouldn't use it. I once read about a Swedish girl who was named Isola after an album by Swedish rock band Kent.

I think Inis, which I believe is the Gaelic word for island, would be a pretty name and could be a variant of Inez, but I think it's really pronounced IN-ish although I would prefer EE-nis.

Makes me think of that fake mob family the Isoldi's that tried to make all of us in the burgh look like thugs, morons, a terrible place, and strippers. Best fake show I ever saw. I watched the first season with my step brother in law and he had to walk out it was so bad. It's a pretty name though.

The user-submitted name Isola says that it's probably a variant of Isolda (and can be a word name from Italy also) and that it was the name of Oscar Wilde's sister.

I think the similarity to Isolda can't be overlooked and it does look like an alteration of that.

I don't care for it, it looks like the beginning of the word "isolation" and that bothers me. I also get a chemically vibe from iso- and -sol-.

It's pretty. What puts me off is that it sounds a bit like ebola.

I have a male professor with that name and he's from Nigeria!

it sounds like suntan lotion

I love Isola and have for a long time. I feel like it has the potential to become popular because it is beautiful, feminine, unusual, and similar to names like Isabel and Isla.

It sounds pretty enough. I thought it was a typo of Isolda at first. I do wonder when people use words from other languages and just make them into names. It's stranger than using a word from your own language that way.

It's nice.
