Help with finding similar names?

[PumpkinZulu]

So DF and I have had a boy and girl name picked out for a very long time.

Isla-Mae
Peter George

Last name is Collins (haha how prim and proper if we have a boy, right?? )

We chose Isla because we both have strong Scottish roots and it's our favourite Scott name. Mae because it's part of my name too (Lily-Mae) so we wanted to pass that on. Peter, after my father who passed away 5 years ago, and George, for DF's father, who passed away in October

But! We'd like a few more options, jic the names we have don't 'fit' the bub, or if there's something else out there we haven't thought of. So if you can think of any names similar to ours (pretty and girly for girls, strong and masculine for boys) we'd love to hear them. We like less common names but still traditional, so names perhaps that were once in vogue and now are not. TIA!

I really like Nicholas for a boy. I haven't heard it much lately.

That's our boy name, should we ever have one, named after my much loved and cherished grandfather and it's nice because it isn't so common anymore, but still kinda timeless.

Your names are beautiful, PZ. It's so great once you "know". We had our names for the longest time too and they never felt wrong to us. Our daughter's name is in the top 5 most popular names now though, wasn't when we picked it, but we loved it too much to change it.

Amelia
Annie
Emma
Grace
Natalie

Matthew
Nicholas (!!)
(I'm not great on boys names!!!!!!)

They are great names! My mother was Scottish (and the rest of her family) so we will have a Scottish name too!!
Some other suggestions

Ella Mae (maybe too close to Elly Mae but I still like it)
Angus Peter works too.
Oliver
Eamonn
Ainsley is Scottish too! I think it's good for a boy or girl!

I agree and I really like Peta-Mae Isla Collins!!!!

I like Matthew for a boy, but I think your boy's name is perfect because it has such wonderful meaning
