Middle name for Olive

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?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm very cheered by the positive comments.

I think Arabella might win over Penelope just due to the surname beginning with P, the alliteration sounds a bit strange to my my ears.

Penelope is the new Florence, IMO way too popular for me

I like Olive Aurora/Aurelia, flows nicely.

Love the name Olive!

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

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

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