A second name for Olivia

28 replies

Am due a girl in 2 weeks and am thinking of calling her Olivia. Surname is Keary.
Any suggestions for a nice middle name?

I don't want a name that ends in "a" like Olivia and also don't want a name that ends in "y" sound like surname.

He has already vetoed Rose, April, Rae, Alice, Mae and Grace - this will give an idea of the kind of names I'm thing of. Short, "bridging" names between first and surnames.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Olivia Meryl Keary sounds good to me. But I can't fight off the urge to say Peppa Grin only kidding!

Kate is lovely

prefer Francesca to frances,but maybe a bit long.

Olivia Erin Keary?

GlynisIsFixed · 23/03/2011 09:19

Frances?

Think that has a lovely 'flow' to it....Olivia Frances Keary

TooManyBlossoms · 23/03/2011 09:12

I would go for Olivia May but then I'm biased Grin.

Not sure about Lee - I've usually seen it spelt Leigh for a girl and it just seems a bit chavvy (sorry)

Jane sounds nice too.

I think you need something that begins with a consonant (easier to pronounce after Olivia) I know he's rejected Mae, but I think May or Mae is lovely. Jane is also a good suggestion.

Charlotte although much longer also trips off the tongue and is very elegant - Olivia Charlotte Keary
