Girls middle name suggestions needed!

I have a girl's name picked out and was going to go with Rose as a middle name. I really like it but it is extremely popular so need some different suggestions other than the usual Jane, Louise, Mae/May!

Help me please!

Give us a clue! Those names are popular for a reason, they go well with a lot.

Girl's name I've picked is Sylvie!

We've gone for Isabelle-Seren. Its means star and luck. We like unusual names and that just fitted but it took ages to decide. I originally like Isabelle-Michelle, but the rhyme put me off. If you think it fits go with it :)

p.s. Sylvie-Mae is beautiful!

Seren is a lovely choice! Very feminine. Sylvie-Seren is a bit much though! Do you think Rose fits with Sylvie?

Sylvie-Rose is pretty too. But i personally prefer it with Mae. There so traditional! If your not sure, you could always pick out of a hat. We ended up doing that to get Isabelle!

Sylvie Rose is nicer than Sylvie Mae

I think Sylvie Rose sounds lovely. And because Sylvie is a bit more unusual it probably doesn't matter about Rose being quite popular?

Yeah that's what I was hoping RooibosWithMilk!

I really love the name Sylvie and currently not in the top 100 names, although apparently it has been more popular this year...

I think it's a lovely name and a bit different, without being weird/unusual for the sake of it! If that makes sense?

Sylvie Elle

Sylvie Georgina

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions manicinsomniac, they are great!

I think Rose is still my favourite though! Sylvie Kate a close second :)

Sylvie Ruth? Sylvie Rachel? Sylvie Robin? Sylvie Rowan? I like Sylvie Rae - I think Sylvie goes really well with R names as a mn it appears!

I think Sylvie Anne is nice. Sylvie Ellen is nice too.
Or why not go with a variation? Sylvie Rosalind for example.
Or something wackier like Sylvie Red! I like that.

I agree Sylvie goes with R middle names!

How about Sylvie Violet? I really liked Sylvie Pearl but I think it sounds too much like Silver Pearl, like a piece of jewellery!
