Re: Ingrid, Ivy, Isla
in reply to a message by Billina
Ivy looks good from a distance, but in a garden it is the world's most annoying plant.
Isla is at least easy to pronounce, unlike Ayla, but it came from nowhere to being very well used and I don't know if it's likely to last very long.
The other problem with these two is that I just don't enjoy names that start with I - or Me, actually, like some versions of Megan. They sound whiney and self-absorbed.
So, Ingrid. I like Sigrid a lot, Astrid quite a lot and Ingrid not so much. Here, however, Ingrid is a clear winner.
