    I know they sound different but they look very similar. Both pretty names but I wouldn't use them both.

    i agree ...the are both very pretty names...but yes quite similar when you look at them.

    Maybe you can have Isla and Bella instead.

    Yes I think that they are too close. I personally wouldn't do it.

    Do you have any other names you like?
