Middle name struggle

Struggling now with middle names. We've falling in love with Avery for our little girl. What's your thoughts on these for middle names (we have a 1 syllable surname)

Avery Jane
Avery Anne Flora.
Avery Rose
Avery Flora

I would really like Flora as a mn though I don't think it sounds right? We have a family tradition of long names (I have 3!) so the more the merrier :)

Avery Rose is nice Smile

oh please steer clear of Rose as a middle name, only three middle names have been used for the last ten years and they are Rose, Grace, and Mae!!!

Avery is a lovely, unusual 'creative' sort of name so I think it needs something to match it.....Avery Beatrice? Avery Frances? Avery Carys?

By the way I do think Flora is lovely, too - why not go for that?
Avery Flora is a good combination I think.

Thanks, DH does not like Rose at all so think that's out the window. Avery Frances is quite nice.

I agree with sleepingsowell, please don't use Rose. It's a beautiful name but really overused in the middle.

As Avery is 3 syllables, I would go for a longer 2 syllable mn. Love the pp's suggestion of Avery Beatrice.

Avery Charlotte
Avery Florence (instead of Flora?)
Avery Constance
Avery Katherine (pronounce Kath-ryn it's 2 syllables)
Avery Margaret (I also pronounce this as 2 syllables)

Or, there's the longer mn's

Avery Victoria
Avery Octavia
Avery Seraphina
Avery Elizabeth
Avery Evangeline
Avery Dorothea

Avery Jane is pretty but I think if you have a 1 syllable last name then this may not work so well. How about

Avery Jane Charlotte for example. I think this flows really well.

Good luck x
