Middle name for Molly

DH and I have decided on Molly as a solid girl name (we don't know the sex of impending baby, but we can't think of any boy names, so I'm trying not to think about that for now...). We're just struggling a little with middle names.

I thought we'd decided on Molly Evangeline, which I adore, but DH isn't keen.

Our surname is double-barrelled, two syllables each name, so I think with Molly also being two syllables we need something longer for a middle name (or possibly just one syllable, not sure).

Other names we considered as a first name were Rose, Lena, Jessica, but none of them really grab me as a match with Molly.

So! Any help appreciated (and if you want to fling in any boys' names while you're at it then feel free Wink)

When we had DS, if he had been a girl, we would have named him Molly Elizabeth. We too loved Molly and it isn't anywhere so common as Milly at the moment so we liked that it was a bit more unusual. Elizabeth was my great grandmas middle name and I liked it.....it'a a really feminine name to match Molly.

Evangeline is very pretty too (I am a LOST fan).
What about...

Molly Francesca
Molly Ophelia
Molly Amelia

Molly Sue is hillbilly

But if you live in the UK that won't matter. Only if your'e in Alabama or similar.

I like Francesca Smile

We considered Elizabeth, but it wouldn't work as we have relatives/friends who might assume it was some kind of tribute to them!

I agree about E names though, which is why I loved Evangeline. I do like Emmeline as well though.

Just go for Evangeline it goes well, everything else will be compared to it as you really like it and how often will you or her use her full name anyway?

I'm not a fan of the E names with Molly personally as Molly ends in an ee sound so I don't think they flow brilliantly.
I really like:
Molly Annabel
Molly Isobel
Molly Jemima
Molly Philippa
Molly Suzannah
