I love the name Isa, plus it is Italian and inconspicuously honors my MIL ;) We are all baby name freaks on this board, so I think we would all pronounce it "ee-sah." However, DH and other "normal" folk get confused and say either "is-ah" or "how do you pronounce that." Am I way off base in thinking that most people would get it? :)

Thanks!

I was torn between ee-say and eye-sah (not in your poll). I finally decided on ee-sah since it's spelled like "Lisa" without the "L".

I would suppose it would depend on where someone was from on how they would pronounce it. I have never seen it as a stand alone name, only as a spanish nickname for Isabel/a prnounced ee-sah.
