Really like the name Isla Grace if we end up with a girl (chose to stay team yellow). Just interested in what the name conjures up for people. Although conscious that I may well regret asking...!

Not overly bothered by increasing popularity, but would be a bit upset to eventually find she was one of a silly number in her class. Although when I was at secondary school, I was one of 3 with the same name and spelling in mine and never really batted an eyelid about it. DH loves the name Poppy, which I also really like, but just can't imagine a tomboyish teen or a 40-odd year old with it. But gorgeous for a little girl/old lady!

I love it! Popular (that's not a criticism) and bootiful!

It does sound nice but Grace, Rose and Mai are really popular middle names and I do find the use of them very unoriginal.

Beautiful names but I know 2 (different groups of friends). Seems to be a popular combination!

Nice and pretty.
Personally, I would change the middle name to something a bit more unusual, unless it has special significance to you. Grace has been a very popular middle name for a few years now, and along with Rose, Mae/May, etc, it seems to me to be a bit of a filler type name.
But it's popular for a reason, and Isla Grace is a very nice combination.

I know of two Isla's born in the past few months, one is an Isla Grace. Very pretty name but getting popular, which may or may not be an issue for you.
