A middle name for Grace? Help and opinions needed

We have agreed on Grace for a first name but cannot agree on a middle name.

Names DH has vetoed that I like

Madeline
Elizabeth/Eliza
Eleanor
Juliet

Names we both think are ok, none of them seem right

Francesca - A family name, DH not keen

Hazel - DH likes, I am not too keen

Sophia - we both like, but DH thinks it would be misspelt. I do not see this as a problem for a middle name

Evelyn - we both like, but would strongly consider using as a first name if we have another girl.

Anyone have any other ideas?
I think it would be nice for the middle name to be long, as our surname is short and Grace is a one syllable name.

My 4th DD is Martha Cordelia Grace - the occasions you actually need/use a second or third name are minimal as she has discovered in her 24 years!

My Grace is Grace Elizabeth - we've found a goodly number of Graces are, but that's off your list. I offer Grace Christabel, which is what I originally wanted.

The name that came to.mind alongside Grace was Grace Evangeline. I love it.

Oh haha ive just gone back and read the thread and seen its been mentioned!

Sorry for late reply November...I think you can pronounce it 2 ways. My mum says its Eve Lyn but Ive also heard her be called Ev-i-lyn which I think sounds prettier.

My boys have got names which can be shortened (one is William George and the other is Joseph Thomas) so they are Will and Joe so I wanted a girls name that I could shorten as well so was going to Evelyn Grace shortened to Evie :-)

I think 3 syllable names work best.
Hence Grace Evelyn is good

Grace Evelyn
Grace Leonora
Grace Eliana
Grace Ariana
Grace Evalina
Grace Lilian
Grace Indiana
Grace Theodora
Grace Sapphire ( similar to Sophia)
