Middle names for Fionnuala and Eoghan?

We don't really do the whole naming after a family member so just want names that sound 'nice' with our chosen first names (although we haven't fully decided on Eoghan for a DS yet, there are others we love). Ideally we want a strong english name to represent the heritage of our DC (DH Irish, I'm English). Other DC's middle names are Frederick and William.
To go with Fionnuala we already have a few ideas, what do you think of -

Fionnuala Primrose
Fionnuala Verity
Fionnuala Charlotte

Since we've not yet fully decided on a boy's name it's a bit tricky finding a middle name!

Even so what would you suggest and what do you think of the combos we've already considered?

I like your girl's name suggestions. Would something with fewer syllables than Fionnuala sound better?

Fionnuala Bridget
Fionnuala Mary

Eoghan Alexander
Eoghan James

Fionuala Maeve

I think Fionnuala Maeve is a bit too Irish IYSWIM? Our other two have English middle names so we want to keep it the same :)

Of your three I prefer the sound of Fionnuala Charlotte but it does give initials FC so she might sound like a football club. How about:

Fionnuala Harriet
Fionnuala Jane
Fionnuala Katharine
Fionnuala Maud
Fionnuala Victoria

Fionnuala Maud or (Jane: the multi-syllable followed by a single is very rhythmic); and Eoghan George/Henry/James all good, the exotic along with the mundane ... ye, nice sense of balance. Incidentally, how DO you pronounce Eoghan???

Eoghan = Owen
