Flora Mabel Ivy is wonderful!

Not a fan of Mabel, here..

I love the other Scottish version of Merryn, which is Merran.

I love Theodora and Beatrice.

Flora Beatrice I think is lovely and goes really well with your surname.

If you want to go OTT, Flora Beatrice Merryn or Flora Merryn Theodora.

If you want a variation on Theodora that doesn't rhyme, try Dorothea.

Flora Dorothea I think is charming.

Personally I would avoid Calliope as it is also the name for steam powered organs- e.g. The ones they used to have at a circus to draw in the crowd. Not a particularly flattering association.

Calliope also sounds a bit like callipygian, which means having well shaped buttocks.
