Unusual Pretty girls name.

Hi. I'm looking for an unusual, but pretty girls name. Not too outrageous and something that would work well with the middle name 'Rose' or 'Leigh' as these are family names that I would like to tie into the name. Any ideas are welcomed... Thank you!!

Yes think I prefer the pronunciation oh-fee-lee-ya. Thank you! Love Isla but this name seems to be very common at the minute which is a shame as it is very pretty
