Names to go with Isla?

We are probably going to name one of our identical girl twins Isla, but are stuck on the other name.
We want something classical or unusual, and any suggestions would be appreciated!

Have you chosen Isla because it's Scottish or do you just love the name anyway?

Isla is a Scottish name and it really doesn't go with some of the suggestions below, it seems to be creeping in to more general currency like Finlay (now more often spelt incorrectly, Finley and found in Souf London!)

Isla and Elspeth best suggestion IMO

RomanCandleJollster · 02/11/2009 07:53

ooooo, get you in dictionary corner... "spelt incorrectly". Who made you lexicography police...?

my understanding was that Finley was more Irish origin and Finlay more Scottish.

Hey, this came up on active and after duly offering my suggestion I find the thread is from 2009!

So what is Isla's sister called? Surely they poor thing has a name by now!
