What do you think of Isla and Iris for sisters?

I have a DD, Isla Elizabeth Rose (yes, two middle names), who will be a proud big sister in a few months. I am struggling with finding a name that I love as much as I love her name, though I have read the message boards like mad trying to get inspired. I actually am growing fond of the name Iris but don't know if it's too close so would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

I love Morag too, LM. Think it sounds lovely with Isla.

I love Iris and Iona, but I agree they don't go well with Isla due to being too similar. I'm a little bit more agreeable wrt Ione going with Isla, due to the extra syllable and the different ending, but I would never have two siblings with the same initial anyway. Aside from it being a practical issue with post (etc), I find sibling alliteration quite tacky.
