Ashley Scott and Steve Hart are two random celebrities I’d never heard of before a few weeks ago, when they welcomed a baby girl and named her Iyla Vue, pronounced “I love you.”
Ashley wasn’t so sure about Steve’s pun name suggestion at first — she couldn’t decide whether it was “either the greatest name ever, or the absolute worst.”
She settled on “greatest name ever,” I suppose, but would you have come to the same conclusion?
Follow-up question: Would you feel differently about the name if Iyla were spelled Isla?

If she goes just by Iyla, then okay. But if the parents call their daughter both names all the time, then it kind of terrible.
I knew a couple who named their son Justin Tyme, and I hope he grew up smart enough just to introduce himself as Justin.
And, I greatly dislike the spelling Iyla. Where did the Y come from? Either Isla or Ila would be better.
