Re: Names that are new to the US top 1000
I thought Cleo and Zoya had been on there for a while. Maybe that shows I'm influenced by British people on here.I'm also surprised Teo and Emiliana are new what with how popular similar names are.I think multiple spellings of Kayce are already in the top 1000. It seems crazy popular.Scottie is disproportionately popular in Utah, if I remember right...or it used to be (along with Stevie, Navy, Aspyn).Most of them seem ok/interesting. Ila, Kayce, and Scout are my least favorites, and Cillian, Marigold, Ocean, Zoya, Georgina, Sapphire, Rosalina, Cassian are probably my favorites. But I've only met a Guinevere, a Marigold, and a Matteo "Teo", so potentially my opinion could change if I met some.

Ila is supposed to be a phonetic variation of Isla, but it just looks wrong. Iyla is better.
Ila is a Sanskrit name that charted in the 200s in the 1920s.
I'm pretty sure its modern use is a variant of Isla.
Oh, I was thinking ee-la. It looks like a nickname to me.

I think I'd prefer that pronunciation, but I don't love it either way.
