Isla is thoroughly enchanting. I picture an isle in the mist. Very Gaelic and haunting. Love it.

I've already noted below that's I'd prefer a name that doesn't end in an "-uh" sound for your trio. But because I can't resist combo-making:

---

Isla Maeve (my favorite)
Isla Cathleen
Isla Mavourneen
Isla Sylvie
Isla Carys
Isla Myfanwy ("mi-VAWN-wee," = my lady)
Isla Rhiannon
Isla Winter (too cute?)
Isla Callisto
Isla Daphne
Isla Margot
Isla Xanthe
Isla Guinevere
Isla Vivien
Isla Blanchefleur
Isla Maris (= isle of the sea -- again, too cute? This is more subtle so I think it works)
Isla Celine
Isla Pascale
Isla Gervaise ("zhehr-VEZ" or "jehr-VAYZ")

I kept coming up with other nature names, like Isla Meadow. But then I'd say it out loud and "isle of meadow" is what I heard. So maybe stay away from mns that are nouns / associated with nature. For example: Isla Sandrine. Sandrine has nothing to do with sand, but there's no escaping the image with Isla. Am I being too sensitive?

What do you think of Eilidh / Eily ("EYE-lee") instead of Isla? It's Scottish, like Isla.
