Another baby name one from me! Resounding majority of ppl like Sophia for isabelles new sister! However I can't get away from loving the name Isla!
Would it be awful to name siblings Isla and isabelle? For reference isabelle is known mostly as Izzy day to day!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think it sounds fine.

I don't know, I think it kind of works. The names are pronounced very differently. The problem is if you have another child (even unexpectedly). I feel you'd have to name any boy Isaac but I don't know what you'd do for a girl.

Also, people on here are going to talk about the problems of post being sent to 'Miss I Rhodxb'. I don't know how big a problem that actually is or will continue to be in future, but at least make sure their middle names start with different letters!

I'm going against the grain, but I like it.

What it reminds me of is one of the Chronicles of Narnia - 'The Horse and his Boy' I think - where siblings (although thinking back, perhaps it was only twins) were called similar names - eg. Cor and Corin (I think) in the book

I know an Isla nickname Izzy. Too similar imo. Middle name is a good idea.

Too similar - use it as a middle name

I don't think you can have both, too similar in some ways but also they are so different in style. Perhaps you could have it as a middle name?

Yes it would.
