Poppy, Daisy and Isla?

Hi
I think we have decided on Isla for DD3 due in a couple of weeks. We already have Poppy and Daisy so my only concern is that the third will feel left out of the flower theme. I was thinking Isla Molly Rose but I think Rose/Rosie has become too over-used to use it as a first name now - maybe it's just because I have two close friends with DDs called Rosie that puts me off. Lovely name but I don't want to copy and all that. Wish we'd never started down the flower route at all!
anyway, what are the thoughts on Isla?

I think having all three with flower name is a bit twee. Isla is a great name - (I would choose it for me but doesn't go with our surname) - I don't think she'll feel left out at all!

Or you could copy Jamie Oliver and go for Petal

I love Isla.

I also love Rosa, bit of a compromise?

I like Isla, but if you want to continue with the flower theme what about Iris? Lovely name and not nearly so common as Rose.
