I definitely prefer [name]Isla[/name]! to me it’s no competition!
While [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Colette[/name] are both lovely options, I prefer [name]Isla[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] by a mile! It feels so cohesive and pretty to me. [name]Colette[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] is lovely, too, but for some reason it feels a bit disjointed to me. I like both [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Colette[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] [name]Colette[/name] over [name]Colette[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name], although I realize neither of those are options.
Good luck!
[name]Isla[/name] is nms, but I love [name]Colette[/name]! I met one girl named [name]Colette[/name] who everyone called [name]Coco[/name], and then insisted later on to be called [name]Colette[/name]. [name]Coco[/name] is cute but [name]Colette[/name] is beautiful. I also think of Ratatouille, but seeing as it’s one of my favorite movies, I dont mind.
You are right, I think [name]Colette[/name] is more dated compared to [name]Isla[/name]. But I feel [name]Isla[/name] may date more quickly in a few years time -IMHO.
I voted [name]Colette[/name] as although it is slightly dated it is still a great name- love [name]Coco[/name] as a nn.

I should also add that our last name starts with M and is 2 syllables. So the flow of [name]Colette[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] sounds better once you put our last name with it, as opposed to the 2 names standing alone. Thanks for the feedback and keep it coming!
[name]Colette[/name] from the 90s. Thumbs down to [name]Colette[/name]. I doubt people will use [name]Coco[/name] as a nickname as she grows up, she will get Col instead. Not very beautiful. Go for [name]Isla[/name] who is classic and timeless.
