Please don't say Oil...I'm about to give birth and very hormonal!

I have sort of given DH the middle name choice as he is letting me have Olive however I wondered what people think of his favourites...

Olive Celia
Olive Arabella
Olive Penelope

Any other ideas I could tempt him with?

I like Olive Penelope.
Can't think of anything better!
Persephone?
Amaryllis?
Alexandria?

Depends on your surname - if your chosen middle name begins with a vowel, it may spell a word, eg Olive Alice Fraser = OAF! Olive is lovely though, it was my lovely Mum's name.

Having read the above suggestions, all the ones with three syllables sound good!

Yeah, maybe not O.P.P... a.k.a. "Other people's pussy". As immortalised by "Naughty by Nature".

I love Olive! Gorgeous name Smile.

I far prefer Persephone to Penelope personally. I think it goes better with Olive as well.

How about:

Olive Serena
Olive Josephine
Olive Estella
Olive Aurora

Olive Arabella would sound lovely, but you'd get the initials OAP...
