Poppy, Daisy and Isla?

Hi
I think we have decided on Isla for DD3 due in a couple of weeks. We already have Poppy and Daisy so my only concern is that the third will feel left out of the flower theme. I was thinking Isla Molly Rose but I think Rose/Rosie has become too over-used to use it as a first name now - maybe it's just because I have two close friends with DDs called Rosie that puts me off. Lovely name but I don't want to copy and all that. Wish we'd never started down the flower route at all!
anyway, what are the thoughts on Isla?

I like Isla, but don´t think it goes with Poppy & Daisy.

I like the flower theme and don't think it's twee to have another flower name ...But then I also like Isla....a friend of mine recently named her baby this. What about Ivy? I think its making a come back....know of one baby recently called this. I also love Violet, would have had this as a middle name if I wasn't going for Poppy as first name!

Poppy and Daisy are both marvellous names for family pets!

Thank you!!
I am now completely overwhelmed and no clearer as to whether we are choosing the right name, I'm worried I'm going to be one of those people who don't name their babies until the end of the fifth week! I could never understand how you couldn't decide on a name during the nine months before the birth but I think i'm getting it now! ISLA MOLLY ROSE is the current thinking, am worried that the scots think Isla is a rubbish name although don't think you can worry about what everybody thinks or you'd never call it anything. I probably would have called her Willow or Iris but again hubby won't have it, thinks it's really wet!
will keep you posted, thanks for all your input!

My DD 2 is called Isla Rose. Great name! You would be keeping with the flower theme but not as in your face as Jamie Oliver
