What do you think of the name Isla?

I posted this dilemma to my due date group and it was suggested I try it here, as well. I love the name Isla (prounounced like Island without the "nd"), but everyone I show it to thinks it's pronounced Izla. I've experimented with different spellings, like Ila, Ilah, Eyla - but none of them seem as pretty to me, and all of them still seem to leave room for mispronunciation. I don't want to doom my daughter to a lifetime of correcting people! Should I just use it as is, change the spelling, or give it up completely? There is a new up and coming actress named Isla Fisher who was on the movie "Wedding Crashers". I keep hoping her successes will make the name more familiar, but I can't wait to find out. My baby is due October 18th! Help!
