Middle name for Isla without an 'a' ending

Expecting baby girl and love the name Isla. However will be using a family middle name beginning with l and ending in 'a' so I think I need another name to go between them e.g Isla rose. Any suggestions for pretty middle names not ending In a or starting with l? Struggling!

Bay. A bay tree is lovely, and it is a nice alternative to May.

Isla May?
Isle of May is an island in the Firth of Forth....

There are dozens of girls names which don't end in A which would be brilliant as a middle name - off the top of my head..... Rachel, Louise, Elizabeth, Helen, Willow, Ruby, Dawn, Grace, Faith, Hope, Charlotte, Megan, Caroline, Catherine....

Joan - classic and elegant. Due a comeback.

Isla Rowan or Isla Willow are lovely.

I thought of Isla May straight away, I guess because it is a real place.

I do love Isla, both little girls I know are so sweet.
