i already have one of these but am pregnant with dc3 which could be a girl and i love both these names.

have obv already used one but can i get away with using the other? do they sound to alike? if it makes any diffrence these is another sibling inbetween them that is not named after a scottish island

is your son Isaac?!

I think it is fine, people won't often say the names together I guess

I think that the sibling in between makes a difference as people normally say them in order; so Isla, William and Iona doesn't sound odd. Your mail will be a pain though by giving them the same initial and, if they are fairly close in age, teachers will mix up their names!
