Strange Name
Ailsa.
Met someone called that today and thought what an unusual and slightly weird name it is. Doesn't trip off the tongue very well

Isn't it a popular Scottish name? Nothing unusual about it.

I think of the woman from the Generation Game
which is odd, because it isn't her name |

I think it's a lovely name. Perhaps she is related to people from Ailsa Craig.

Nothing unusual or weird about it at all. It's an old Norse name meaning "elf" or "magical victory".

You're thinking of Isla St Clair, who later married Barry White and became Isla White. After that marriage broke down she married Brian Ferry and became known as Isla White-Ferry.

Talking of Bryan Ferry, if he were to marry Britney Spears she'd be Britney Ferry. Do they sail to the Isle of White I wonder?
