Re: Middle name for Isla?
in reply to a message by abbie
Hmm...I actually think Isla Ruby and Isla Poppy work pretty well in combination, but I can understand preferring something longer with a very short last name. I'll trying going off of some of the names you've listed for something similar in sound/feel...
Instead of Lily, how about: another flower, "white", "il" or "ily" sounds (avoiding "L" with Isla)...
Isla Jessamine
Isla Chrysanthe
Isla Marigold
Isla Primrose
Isla Guinevere
Isla Gwyneth
Isla Millicent
Isla Cecily
Isla Jillian
Instead of Ruby: I saw Rubina mentioned yesterday, Italian variant of Ruby. I'm tempted to tweak it to Rubine (-een). May not be technically legit, but it makes sense to me, following usual forms.
Isla Rubine
Instead of Ella...
Isla Elinor
Isla Eloise
Isla Elowen
Isla Isobel
Isla Mirabelle
Isla Roselle
Isla Noelle
Isla Danielle
The only other idea to come to mind is to go ahead and use one of your favorite short names with Isla, but add a second, longer middle name...maybe an honoring name for a relative or friend...
