I like Jemima, Lydia, they are bible names and to me tend to sound more classic and 'strong' than many others, probably because they have been popular on and off for a long time I guess.

I only like Jemima from your list.

Jemima is lovely.

I like Holly and Lucy. A one-syllable middle name such as Kate, Clare, Rose, Anne, Jane etc can work really nicely.

all pretty, like Lydia the best as the most classic and slightly unusual. Holly always makes me think of Christmas babies somehow!

Standard middle names like Rose, Grace, Catherine, Elisabeth go well with all those;

I also like Jemima and Lydia, Lydia slightly more.
Depending on your surname and its length:
Lydia Katherine
Lydia Jane
Lydia Beth
Jemima Louise
etc
anything classic and not beginning with a vowel should do it.

Sorry if you think those are all rubbish, my imagination has run away tonight.

Thanks. I think Im leaning towards Lydia actually. Hubby has since mentioned Annabel which I also quite like but not sure whether its a bit 'trying too hard'. Not that keen on one syllable middle names either tbh as got short surname (soz should have mentioned before) - and want to avoid usual Rose, Grace, May middle names. That said, I do quite like Lydia Jane. Other thoughts:

Lydia Lucy?
Annabel Elizabeth?
Lydia Florence?
Lydia Constance?

I think Lydia Constance is lovely. For some reason I dont like the middle names with l's in, it's too alliterative I think.
I agree with you about Annabel.

I prefer Lydia out of all those listed. Lydia Grace flows well but after Rose, Grace must be the 2nd most used middle name for a girl.
I'm not keen on Lucy at all but go with your own preference.

Lydia's my favourite of them, lovely. Holly least favourite; bland.

I like Lydia Lucy, but then I do like a bit of alliteration.
