Elsa or Isla, THAT is the question!

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.

Elsa. 'Isla' is Spanish for 'island'. I am aware that the pronunciation is different, but you do run the risk of people getting confused. :) Plus, Elsie is just an adorable nickname! <3

Yes, Elsie is another nickname choice! I thought of Elle and Ellie. But Elsie is also cute! Thanks!!

Didn't know about Isla meaning island in Spanish. I think it's meaning was "scottish island" or at least where the name came from.
