Double barrelled middle name?

Hello, I’m just looking for opinions on names for a baby girl. Which one do you prefer, or thinks flows best?? Each name has significance so we don’t really want to drop any.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks for your input @Lollipoppit @FelicityPike

Rose was her grandmothers name, so define not just a filler. I’m not sure about the hyphen either. We still have a few months until she’s here so will see which one feels right @WhoppingBigBackside

Rose is a filler middle name and many other Avas will be Ava Rose
Hyphens tend to be naff

I really don't like Ava

None flow flawlessly, the third one breaks up the A's and flows the best.

The 3rd one, with no hyphens.
No one outside of family (and even then only close family) knows/ cares about middle names aside from paperwork.
