I like/love these: (guessing on some of the pronunciations)
Ailsa - AYL-sah. Love it.
Iona - eye-OH-nah, love it
Islay - This and Isla are pronounced EYE-lah. I prefer the Isla spelling, obviously, but I like both. :b

I really like the idea of using these names. No clue how to prn. most of them, but they look nice. :)

I live in Scotland, and have only heard Iona and Islay (normally spelt Isla -- they are pronounced the same). Also Skye; those three are very popular just now. Ailsa is more popular on older women. I'd use any of those four, but most of those you listed don't work as names in my eyes.

Kerrera would be pretty in theory, but I don't know what would happen to it in an accent that doesn't roll its R's. Rather than Taransay, I'd just use Taran -- the name of the saint after whom the island was named.

Lewis and Harris are also names of Scottish islands.

I personally don't the names of Skye and Tanera. Cara is also a small Scottish island of the west coast.

I love Ailsa and Iona and would most definetly use them. Others I like, but would never use, are Isay, Tanera, and Vaila.

I love & might use:

---

Ailsa
Iona
Vaila

Alsa and Iona

Although I do think some of them (besides those in the database) would work as names, the only one I might actually use is Vaila.

As I don't know how to properly pronounce any of those, I can't judge them. But isn't Skye also a scottish island? (skye boat song) Anyway, I also like the scottish town of Airdrie. That would be a pretty name.

I might use Ailsa, Tanera, and Vaila
