Not pregnant right now, planning next year..
We have Aleksia Shae
(Yes, spelt different!)

We just started having a chat the other night about names...
& the only 2 girls names we like are Isla & Savannah

Will having an Aleksia & Savannah be OTT?
& I just dont think Aleksia & Isla go?

I think Aleksia and Savannah are fine together as are Aleksia and Isla. I definitely prefer Isla of the two.

Quite like Savannah!

Isla definitely.

Definately Savannah!

The problem I have with Savannah is that there are 2 distinct pronunciations around - Sa-var-nah and Sa-van-ah. It would drive me nuts if it was constantly pronounced differently to what I wanted.

Isla is nice.

Very true!
I know some people that are shocked when I say how Isla is pronounced.. Alot of people think it is either I-L-S-A or I-S-L-E!

I would vote for Isla, its pretty and I think it goes with Aleksia too (I think anyway) Good luck with deciding.
Franny Glass
Definitely Isla

I agree.

I've never heard Savannah pronounced Sa-var-na? The city certainly isn't pronounced that way. I wouldn't think it's any more likely to be mispronounced than any other name.
