Who knew it would be so hard to find a name to fit with our daughters: Edith Isla! We quite like older/slightly unique names but any help would be appreciated please!

For girls so far we have: Aubrey, Alba, Wren, Esme, Freya, Nell, Elodie.

For boys: Axel, Otto, Albie, Atticus, Barnaby

I know a toddler Edith with a sister named Felicity.
I would expect Edith's siblings to also have older, classic names. Yours mostly sound quite modern. Names that would "match" for me:
Audrey (rather than Aubry)
Margaret
Alice
Esther
Ada
Ellen
Iris
Catherine
Marianne
Julia
Elizabeth
Lydia
Charlotte
Jane
Hilda
Agatha

Arthur
Alan
William
Thomas
Robert
Frederick
Carl
Timothy
Benjamin
Jacob
Henry
Jonathan
Alexander
Ernest (I don't like it but Edith and Ernest just sound like siblings to me(
George

Nancy - I love this one!
Betty
Violet - also love

Barnaby- love
Henry
George
William

Albert nn bertie, albie

Mary and Sybil work well. Along with Violet and Cora. All the boys names on the list are pretty awful, though.

A lot of your choices actually seem quite modern. I think Nell and Barnaby go the best, although personally I would find a longer version to shorten to Nell. Helena is my favourite but Eleanor or Penelope would also work. Albie works well with Edith too, but only with Albert as a full name.

I would imagine Edith to have a sibling called something like Iris, Nancy, Nora, Martha, Clara, Stanley, George, Henry, Arthur, Alfred etc.

Agree with all of this!

Love Edith and Eleanor, Helena or Penelope (Nell). I quite like Esme and Freya too, although they seem more modern. For Boys, I like Barnaby from your list. I think Henry, George or Alfred would be lovely too.

Violet is another with would work well with Edith.
