Isabella and ? - 10 day old twins

My twin girls are now 10 days old and still effectively nameless.
We are pretty set on Isabella for one baby but baby 2 is nameless.
We don't care about popularity but do want the names to feel like they go well together (I know some people don't care about this but we do). DH would like them to have the same number of letters/syllables but I'm less fussed on that.

So far we've tried but not adored
Madeline
Florence (hard no)
Amelia (leading favourite, but DH doesn't like that it's shorter)
Savannah (I'm not a fan)
Sophia
Florissa (totally different vibe and I don't love it!)

At this point I'm thinking we scrap Isabella as a name and go for Amelia and Sophia (DH would be fine with this as he just wants same number of letters etc.) but I do love Isabella ... help !!

Victoria
Juliette
Lilianna
Rosalind or Rosemary
Lily-Rose (or any combo of 4 letter names)

I think these are all 8 letter names!
My suggestion would have been Freya until I saw your husband's preference for 8 letters.

I know as Isabella with Emmeline as a sister. Issy and Emmy for short.

Don't go for Amelia and Sophia!

I think Isabella and Amelia or Sophia are fine, do the names really have to have the same number of letters? Isabella has 4 syllables and so does Amelia whereas whilst Amelia and Sophia have the same number of letters they have different numbers of syllables - 4 and 3.

If the letters really do matter how about Isobel and then either Amelia or Sophia

Not 8 letters but I know sisters called Isabella and Alaina and always think the names flow nicely together.
