I have an Ivy Rose Alice, and an Orla Ann. I need a third name!

I can't have Clover as it was vetoed (by DH and on here!) as was Heidi (surname doesn't work with it).

I would like a name with a literary connection- any suggestions please? I'm totally stuck!

Edith (as in Wharton) would go with your previous names.

My DD is Ivy Chenault. Chenault is from the book "The Rum Diary" by Hunter S. Thompson. Smile

Matilda is a good one. I like Madeline (pronounced like the little French girl) as well. Both of those characters are loved by little girls.
