Middle names

Due in May with number 2, we are having a girl and are settled on a first name but I would really love a middle name and I just cant fund one that fits.
We are welsh and like a welsh name, but on the other hand, all of the names I have thought of, I know someone else with that name and don't really want to name her after someone unless it has meaning. I have been through family names and so far no inspiration.

Also have a love for older names.

Son's name is Alfred Glyndwr (shortened to Freddie)
chosen name for our girl is Elisabeth (intended shortening is Elsie)

we have a short sir name so a longer middle name would work even with the long first name.

Any ideas are welcome! :)

@Whatsyourflava Margaret has been a consideration for a while but I cannot shake the feeling that Margaret Elisabeth flows nicer than Elisabeth Margaret, silly I know!

@Ricekrispie22 Morwena is a new one on me but I love it! and it flows lovely with the whole name. I will have to put that one forward to the husband for consideration :)

I don't know much about welsh names but I looked at a website and there's a few that really appeal to me (if any of those aren't welsh I'm blaming google).

Aeron
Branwen
Ceridwen
Deryn
Seren

Also even if you know someone with a name you like, doesn't mean you can't use it, especially if you're not close. People may or may not assume you named the child after so-and-so, so what? You'll know the truth of it.
