Second name for Isla

Looking for a second name for Isla. All I can think of is Isla Drew but I know someone who named their child this and I don't really like the person so I can't bring myself to use the exact same name! Any other suggestions?

Oh nooo don't double barrel!! It's terribly naff!

Isla is lovely but there will be 5 others in the same class, it’ll be this generation’s Louise/Emily/Rebecca (showing my age here)

I really like Isla Blake and Isla Grace. We're aren't specifically looking for unisex though, I just think it sounds better if the second name starts and ends with a consonant sound. Also ideally we would like to double barrel - Isla-Blake sounds quite good I think

I really like Grace but I know it's over used as a middle name. Belle is lovely, as is Fleur or Fearne? Maybe Willow depending on your surname?

I know a tiny Isla and she is adorable, lovely choice of first name.

If anyone says Isla May or Isla Rose... 🙄

Are you sure you want Isla? There are a million of them! It is pretty though, I agree. Isla drew is cool. If you like unisex names...
Isla James
Isla Wren
Isla Jude
Isla Kit
Isla Quinn
Isla Scout
Isla Blake
Isla Grey

There was a thread not so long ago where the OP appeared to be seriously considering Skye as a middle name for Isla.

If you don't like that, then Wight, Man, Jura, or Dogs could all work...?
