DD is an Isla and we like Jago for a boy (DC2 on it's way) DH is a scot and I am cornish-we like the one of each.

Tam is also a favoured boy's name.

but were buggered if DC2 turns out to be a girl because we cannot think of anything.

I like Esme but DH doesn't.

My dd is v similar to Isla. You can have my shortlist for future dd (recent dc was a boy and not allowed another - as yet!)

Iris
Ada
Esther
Ione (I-oh-nie, is Greek for Violet apparently)

Also love Esme but dp did not, but I think it goes very well with Isla.

I love Nancy at the moment - not too short I know but I don't go with keeping kids names to all the same vein - always thin Mark, Michelle and Martin in Eastenders!

I'm with growing3rdbump on 'Alys'
Its my middle name and can either be pronounced Alice or Al-eese depending on which you like better.
Faye, Lucy and Ada are nice too
