We're thinking either Eleanor or Isabelle for a first name and have a three syllable last name, any suggestions for a short middle name?

I came on just to suggest Blythe. DD2 has it as a middle name and it gets a lot of compliments. Old fashioned but not old lady

Eleanor Blythe is really beautiful.

I can't imagine a Northerner ever choosing 'Blythe' as a name (no doubt I'll be corrected shortly) as it would sound as though you were naming her after the town, which is not the sort of place you would go on a romantic break...

I'm trying to think of a one-syllable Southern equivalent... hmm... 'Hayes'
