Grace Elizabeth?

I think it's pretty but fear it may be too boring...
Thoughts?  

Also, are Isaiah and Isla too similar for a sibset?
I think so...but I need other opinions.

Yes, Grace Elizabeth is too boring, and yes, Isaiah and Isla are too similar.

I love Grace Elizabeth. Personally, I'd go with Elizabeth Grace if you're worried about it being boring, because then you've got about 18 nickname possibilities that range from the boring (Liz, Beth) to the slightly more interesting (Eliza, Libby, Brett).

Isla and Isaiah are DEFINITELY too similar for a sib-set. I love Isaiah, but Isla looks totally made up, and like someone stopped writing 'island' about halfway through.

PS - I also don't think there's anything wrong with 'boring'. Both Grace and Elizabeth are classic, timeless names, and I think your daughter would be much happier having a 'boring' name like Grace than a totally weird, made-up one that no one can pronounce or spell.

While I don't agree that weird or bad names are necessarily worse, I also think Grace and Elizabeth are classic and classy names. There's a reason that certain names stand the test of time.

Grace Elizabeth isn't boring at all, it's beautiful. I would definitely say that Isaiah and Isla are way too similar for siblings, though.

Love Grace Elizabeth...it's the #1 choice for our next girl. :)

I love Grace Elizabeth.

Isaiah and Isla are too close. You may end up doing what my MIL does "Da..., Do..., Di...whatever your name is.

My mother does that.. with my brother and I... Kyle and Elise...

I think Grace Elizabeth is really nice, but I like it with an 's' more.
And I don't think Isaiah and Isla are too similar for a sibset (only when written down).
PS- I like your icon!

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly with Isaiah and Isla.
I like your icon, too!

I love love love the name Grace. But not with Elizabeth. That is boring to me.

Isla and Isaiah are only close on paper. Aloud, they're hardly similar at all. I think they make a perfectly good sibset (although Isla is not one of my favorites, generally).

Grace Elizabeth is not boring; it's classic and beautiful. I like it.

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

Thank you! My thoughts exactly on both counts.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

I may be slightly biased in my opinion of Grace Elizabeth, since my name is Elizabeth. But seriously, it's nice.

I think the people who think Isla and Isaiah are too similar need to stop reading names and start saying them. The only sound the two names share is both ending in "ah".

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I don't know... I'm saying them out loud, and they sound really similar. They both begin and end with the same sounds. EYE-la. eye-ZAY-ah. They're extremely close.

I don't think its too boring at all. It's the person who is or isn't boring, not the name!

I don't know if Isaiah and Isla are too similar, but IMO, the names don't seem to really flow as a sibset. Isaiah seems really old school and Old Testament and sort of Baptist to me while Isla is set in my mind as a really Scottish name. So to me its like Moses and Niamh or something.

Grace and Elizabeth are my too favorite middle names so to see them put together I like it. As for boring? MMM no I think they are both classic names.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I think Grace Elizabeth is classic and beautiful. I can see some people thinking it might seem boring, but I like it a lot.

And I think Isaiah and Isla might be a little too similar for a sibset, yes.

[btrfly9irl.livejournal.com]

i like grace elizabeth or elizabeth grace. you can come up with a variety of nicknames to keep it from becoming boring.

i do think they are too similar, also i think isla can be easily mispronounced.

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

Are you pronouncing it EYE-LA or IS-LA?

I think they are a little close, and I like Isaiah more then Isla. But both are nice. Isaiah is my favorite boys name after Oliver and Simon.
