Trying to think of nice middle names that go with Rebecca and the surname O'Leary- any ideas?

We don;t want anything too weird or unusual- just feminine and/ or traditional.

Many thanks!

We have an Emily, Hannah, Rita and May in the family. But the last two have already been used in my other children's middle names.

I like many of these suggestions- O'Leary is a difficult one becasue of it being so specifically Irish and some names don't sound that great with it.

My first DD Sophia we named before I was married and it went well with my maiden name but not so well with O'Leary, although her middle names are Susannah Grace which make it better.

I do like the flowery names and Catherine, Emily, Louise and Evelyn are nice too.

Rebecca Clare/Clair/Clair?

Lys? Perhaps not with O'Leary.
I love Louise or otherwise flower names - Rose, Daisy, Violet.
Also Frances.
Any family names from present or past you could use you could use?

Hi everyone

Many thanks for all the suggestions so far and like many of them-

Sophia Grace is the name of my first DD, so that's out sorry to say!

I like lots of these so far, so we'll put these and any more in the pot and have a think!

i would be more tempted to go for a 1 or 2 syllable name because both Rebecca and O'Leary are long words.

i like Louise, Jane, Anne, Joy, Niamh,

Rebecca Louise O'Leary

Rebecca Sophia O'Leary

Rebecca Katherine O'Leary

All pretty feminine names that flow well.
