We found out today it is a GIRL original.gif so these are the two names we have..... Rhiannon & Isla.

Middle name will be Nicole (my name). We already have an Ethan, Katelyn & Alannah original.gif

Which would you pick?

We are thinking Rhiannon original.gif

Thanks again girls!

I prefer Isla. I like Rhiannon too, but maybe just a bit of a mouthful..
CountryBumpkin
Isla for sure original.gif
Bella_a1

Rhiannon ~ it goes so well with your childrens' names wub.gif

Rhiannon is a winner by a bit, but Isla is nice too.
kpingitquiet
Either would work as some of your kids have "ah/uh" sounds at the end, and some have "en/on" sounds. But I like Isla best, with the others original.gif

I feel Rhiannon Nicole, would suit your other children beautifully.
~Meand3~
Isla by a mile!

I love Isla. I didn't know it was that common??

I definitely prefer Isla, it's gorgeous but I think Rhiannon is a better fit with your other childrens names.
alanaandben
I have an Alana and I'm thinking of Isla Nicole for a second girl.... We obviously have very similar taste in names!!

However, I don't find Rhiannon very feminine.
Bel Rowley
I don't think Rhiannon works well with Nicole, but Isla does.
Kakki
I love Rhiannon but maybe it is the Stevie Nicks thing

Isla Nicole. I'm not a fan of Rhiannon
BeachedAsBro
Rhiannon tthumbs.gif It was on my list but my husband didn't like it.

ETA- I love Rhiannon because of the Fleetwood Mac song... Just sayin'

Isla
sunnymonkey
I love Isla, I think it goes with Nicole better but Rhiannon sounds nice with your other names as well
I do know a few babies recently born named Isla as well so if you dont want a name that appears to becoming a common name Rhiannon might be a little more different IMO
MamaP
Isla... Rhiannon feels dated to me
zara-b
I like both names, but think Isla works better with your other children's names, and also goes much better with Nicole.
evanesco
I like Isla original.gif
cordyline
I think Rhiannon goes better with your other children's names
MnM
Gosh, neither are my stlye at all.. ummm, id have to say isla i guess.
Rubybelle
Isla is so pretty - but you may get a few different pronunciations - I would say Iss-la, as this is the Spanish pronunciation (it's the Spanish word for island).

+1 to Stevie Nicks

Rhiannon Nicole is lovely and fits better with the Celtic influence of your other daughters names

(Plus I love Fleetwood Mac ph34r.gif )
littleboysmum
I think both names are lovely, but prefer Isla.
elle-M
I much prefer Isla, it's a beautiful name.

I know it's just personal circumstances but I know a Rhiannon and she's not the sharpest tool in the shed...
vanessa71
Isla.

I don't like Rhiannon, especially since it's the name of that awful Fleetwood Mac song.
soelluet
Isla Nicole gets my vote

I like Rhiannon hheart.gif (so much it's my cat's name and I now can't use it if bubs is a girl!)

Rhiannon sits very nicely with your other childrens' names IMO.
