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.

Sorry sleep deprivation has clearly hit. Lydia is clearly 3 syllables 🙈

Great suggestions so far! I'm showing DH as they come in 👍🏻

I think Lydia is usually three syllables, isn't it? Lid-ee-uh? I think a two syllable middle name would go just as well as a one-syllable. Two sounds better than another three syllable name, to be honest.

Lydia Jane is nice.
