Middle name help for baby girl!

My husband and I are having a very difficult time with picking a middle name for our future daughter. We know the first name will be Olivia, but are unsure of what that sounds good with. We wanted to originally name the middle name after my dad who passed away (George) and make Georgia her middle name or my grandma's name Ruth. What do you all think Olivia Georgia, Olivia Ruth or we are open to other suggestions to a middle name? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Olivia Georgia Ruth xxxxxx. Just have two middle names.

Olivia Ruth Georgia

I've got two middle names after both my grandmother's and I love having two strong women in my name. If you want both have both, have both, more than two middle is excessive but Olivia Ruth Georgia flows really nicely.

Both of my now adult children don't have middle names. It was hard enough choosing their first names!

Georgia is a pretty name.

Olivia Georgia Ruth

I agree with using the Family names.

Georgina, is also a version of George.

I wouldn't have Olivia Georgia due to the two endings being so similar, but Olivia Ruth or Olivia Ruth Georgia would be fine.
Or just no middle name as a pp suggested, my sisters and I don't have one, never been an issue but our friends often didn't believe us thinking we had something "embarrassing"!

Olivia Ruth is great. But really if you want to have Georgie just go for it. In my experience children like having family names as second names and they are so rarely used it is ok to use whatever you feel respects the person you love.

Avoid Olivia Georgia Ruth if your surname starts with E! But otherwise that order sounds best to me.

I quite like Olivia George

But I suspect I may be in the minority Grin
