My Fiance and I have the name Octavia picked out as the first name already. Our only problem is a middle name. I'm currently on week 36 of the pregnancy so I'm on a bit of a time crunch and I just need some outside advice that's not biased. Anyway these are the middle names we have picked out.

Gwendolynn
Penelope
Eileen

this last one is one that i absolutely love but it's traditionally a boys name and I'm not sure if it could work as a girls name. Rhydian.

So. what do you guys think?

actually eileen is my great grandmothers name, we named my first daughter after my great grandfather her middle name is joe (like my mother and I.) As far as Gwendolynn I got the name from Gwen Stacey from Spider-man. Which is where i got the first name as well. _ haha. I've been a huge Spider-man fan since I was young and Doc. Ock was my favorite supervillan from the comics and movie. So I chose the name Octavia. I know it's super nerdy. My Fiance however chose the name Penelope after Penelope Pitstop. We are both extremely nerdy people. The name we have picked out if the baby is a boy is Oliver Orion. Oliver after the green arrow and Orion after Orion Pax (Optimus Prime before he became a Prime). As far as Rhydian goes, I'm a writer and I found the name as trying to find names for my character and it kinda just hit me. I've seen people use very common male names for their baby girls such as Dillon, Kendall, Emerson and many others, so I thought that it might be possible to use Rhydian for a girl as well.

I really like Octavia Penelope. Not keen on Gwendolynn or Eileen (both seem rather middle-aged, are there family connections?).
I know two male Rhydians which is clouding my view of that name I'm afraid, but it could work.
