My grandfather named his house Isola. He'd been sailing the Mediterranean and saw a beautiful island, and thought "Isola" was its name, so named the house that. It reminds me of "isolated" and since his house was surrounded on all sides that gave me a chuckle.
As a girl's name I prefer:
Isla
Iola
Ailsa
