Elsa or Isla, THAT is the question!

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

Alright, this is the last name I need help on my names I think. I had my top favorites for a boy name (Rafe Hollis) and girl name (Gemma Hermione) but I always compile a list of 3 name choices for each gender just in case. And it has been a lifesaver for me in the past.

I'm almost done, I just need a quick pick between two kinda similar names. Which do you prefer?

Isla Fleur Gibbons (pronounced Eye-la in case you were wondering, I had to ask myself!)


OR

Elsa Fleur Gibbons (pronounced ELL-sah)



As always, thank you so much!! This community is awesome <3

ETA: Thanks for your input, I'm going with Elsa Fleur Gibbons. Isla will get mixed up pretty bad for most folks, and that's a huge turn-off for me.

Marina

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

What do you think of the name Marina? It shot to the top of my list recently, but a few people have told me that they predominantly associate it with the noun, a dock for boats. So, what I'd like to know is, first, can you escape this association when you hear the name Marina, and second, if you can't, is this a negative association?

Also, what do you think of the combination Marina Isabella? Is it too much of a mouthful?
