 STAY AWAY from naming your kind Harry Peter... It doesn't go good at all together... Harry sounds too much like "hairy" and Peter is a common nickname for the male sex organ..
as far as the others..
I'd go with the other Jakob..
and
Isla Aurelia.
or
Aurelia Grace with no Isla in front

 Just think about how the names will affect the child rather than looking for something cute that suits a baby!
Too many children get bullied at school and having an unusual name or one that is simple to change to anything offensive is well worth avoiding. It seems trivial and silly now but we are grown ups, think about the 10 year old boy called ZANKA, it would take 30 seconds for his new nick name! Children are cruel and nick names stick!

 LOL those names are quite a mouthful...Everyone I know who has children has always had the names picked out...Then out pops the baby and looks like a totally different name that comes out of the blue and sticks :)

Most kids in the UK these days have different names, I'm a teacher and there are so many name and spelling variations it's untrue.
Don't worry about what other people think and worry about what you want. I notice you repeat some names within others - maybe those are your favourite.
You will know what your kids 'look like' when they are born - you'll know what's right then.

You've spelled Jacob wrong.
Also, they are going to be bloody annoying to write out on forms and spell out over the phone for the rest of their lives.
You may want something beautiful and unique, but does your poor girl? They are going to have a hard enough time standing out like sore thumbs at school just for being twins.
Also, if you call your daughter Isla then everyone will think it's after that girl who does all those god awful rom coms and girl films.
Good Luck!! xx
