Want a meaningful middle name - need some creative people!

[bethellex]

I'm due in November and the name we have sort of settled on at the moment is Lilia which I love. (Second on the list is Alba). Me and OH have both decided we like these.

NOW - we are struggling with middle names!
OH wanted the name Pauleen after his Gran which I'm really not keen on but I like the idea of naming after family. I also think that my Gran (Genevieve Frances) might be slightly offended if his Gran is included and not her! (They are both still alive.) I also have a Gran (Diane Lucy) that has passed away.

Basically names that are in our family are:
Pauleen (not sure of middle name)
Genevieve Frances
Diane Lucy
My mum: Linda
OH mum: Davina

However, all of these names are a bit old fashioned to me (except lucy which I'm not keen on and won't sound right with Lilia)

Some alternatives thought of:
Lena, Paula, Eve, Evie, Francesca

I haven't got the creativity of anagramming (if that's a word) and combining so hoping someone could help? We are also open to two middle names.

Also - if anyone has any completely new suggestions that have none of these names included that goes with Lilia, please feel free to comment!

P.s. our last name starts with R and is two syllables and is our first child so no names to synchronize

Thanks!

Ooh, Lilia Genevieve sounds really classy.

Combinations/adaptation of the names you've mentioned:
Lucinda
Paulina
Diana

I like Francesca as well.

Other random girl names I like and think would go well with Lilia (I have weird taste so understand if you hate these)
Scarlett
Evelyn
Maria
Bethany
Rose
May

So those are my crazy 5am suggestions. Sorry!

Janine - sort of both grans names mixed, OK i should be Geneen (are you sure gm is Pauleen and not Pauline?)

Pia has letters from everyone's names. But short though.

Lilia is already kind of like Linda and Pauline. I don't actually see how Francesca is any more modern than Frances but both are lovely names. I'd go with Lilia Francesca or Lilia Frances.

My cousin called his daughter Megan, after all 4 grandmothers(great to the baby) were called Margaret.

A name ending with "a" sound would match a number on your list.
