Help ! changed my mind about name 'Celeste' so need another girl name...

Hope this is not too complicated...

We have a 2 year old little Girl Twin called Xanthe first name, Celeste middle name.

Problem is I now really dislike her middle name- Celeste and want to change it !!

( big apologies to families with Celeste's but I now think it does not go and we were always unsure about it )
I know her first name is unusual but I love that, it really suits her. I want to change her middle name before she 'knows' what it is. I'd like her to not know I've changed it till she's a lot older as dont want to confuse her: or let her realise I basically dont know what I'm doing !

As her first name is unusual, I'd like a much more familiar middle name for balance.

Our Surname is long and starts with T.
Also she has an older sister called Eva Fenella, and her twin brother is Ralph Ford.

Can't start with E, or R. Or ideally A or I ( Me and DH names )

Any ideas ????? Am stuck. Bit like 'Lana'
or 'May' but not enough. Like 'Fleur' or quite keen on other names starting with 'F'. Because, have realised other two kids middle names both start with 'F'.

(Is there any prize for longest most complicated post on babynames !)

I don't think Xanthe Frances scans - both are too hard - I think you need something soft like the May thought really

Xanthe Marie (I know a Xanthe Marie)

Anyone think 'Polly' or 'Felicity' would go ?

I like Frances.... hmmm

Yes, Activate, I know it'll be on there.

But I can expalain it to her later when she gets to read and see her certificate. I dont want to have to try and explain it to her when she is three !

She may be upset as we haven't changed other kids names.
We have found it harder to name her as she was DD2 we had used up fav names on DD1.

It will still be on her birth certificate.
