Middle name for Lily?

We are set on Lily for a first name (sorry if that's boring or common!) but stuck with a middle name. Would have ideally liked to use the middle name as a way to honour a relative or something meaningful but we can't think of anything suitable for that.

As it stands she may not have a middle name at all which would be fine but if we can think of one that sounds great then I'd like her to have one.

We have ruled out the common combinations such as Grace, Rose and May but would like something fairly simple and classic. Surname starts D so would like to avoid her initials being LAD or LID Grin

Lily Elise

DarthNigel we have genuinely thought of that as a tribute to the song! But then thought it sounds too much like a comedy name

I was going to suggest autumn until I read your bit about initials 😂 I know a lovely little girl who's name is lily autumn.

For what it's worth my sisters initials are LAD and no one has ever mentioned it.
