I made a post about Isola over a year ago: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/5095866
Oscar Wilde also dedicated a poem to her, "Requiescat":
Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.

---

All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.

---

Lily-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.

---

Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone
She is at rest.

---

Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet,
All my life’s buried here,
Heap earth upon it.

---

I like it due to the association, but it's a tricky name - I don't know how to pronounce it and it feels like a place name more so than a person's name.
