I need a middle name please!

Morning all,

DC2 is due in 3 weeks and we are happy with our names for a boy or girl.

We have:

Lydia
Oliver

Oliver will have DH's name in the middle so he's sorted but I'm not sure my name works with Lydia! Could you shower me with your suggestions on a 1 or 3 syllable middle name please? Nice and traditional.
Surname is 2 syllables with 'ton' on the end. I just don't think 3 2-syllable names in a row would be right!

Thank you.

Do you have a middle name? Maybe that would work? I didn't think my name went well as a middle name so we gave our daughter the same middle name as me. Anne.

I think I'd avoid Elizabeth, Jane or Mary...it would be a bit Pride and Prejudice with Lydia! :)

DD1's middle name is Rebecca after her auntie but sadly that's the nicest name in the family, we don't like any of the others!

I would love Lydia Rose but my goddaughter is Rose and so I'm not sure if I like the idea of having the same name.

DH is keen on Lydia Grace!

What's dc1's middle name?
You could have a theme - our girls have English Queens names and our boys have UK patron saints (mil started that one with dh and his brother).
