For girls names, we love the girls name Isla, and another name we like is Emilia shortened to Millie. We like the middle name Grace, and our surname is one syllable. What sounds better Isla Grace or Millie Grace?

What @Atishooo posted.

Emilia is nice but will get confused with Amelia or written as Emelia Sad

Emilia Grace for sure!

I know 3x Isla Grace

Honestly? Utterly boring. Every Isla will be an Isla Grace/May/Rose. Same with Millie/Emilia. Both incredibly popular and every girls has those middle names.

Isla!

Not a fan of Emilia but I do like Amelia, Emily and Millie.

Both are lovely. I think I’d pick Emilia Grace, nn Millie. (Nice range of nn options if she likes when older - Emmy, Lia, Mia).

Agree with Moreteaandchocolate.
Both are lovely.

Consider though: If her surname begins with a "G" Emilia Grace will have initials EGG. And Isla Grace would be IGG. Isla is harder to remember for me, though for whatever reason. Isla will likely become "Izzy" and if she is blonde it will be "Dizzy Izzy" in the US.😂

Isla Grace is nicer imo.

I think Emilia Grace would be lovely. Emily is also lovely, I have one!

Do you mean Emilia Grace, and she'll be known as Millie ?
I think that's lovely.
