Second middle name?

Hi. First time poster on MN. Smile
My new daughter's name is Alissa. I've picked Ivy as a middle name - after my nan who has just turned 100 (my due date was actually her birthday, but baby decided she wanted to be there for the special day and arrived early!)
Possibly over-thinking it, but my 'issue' is that my surname begins with D... so her initials would be AID... (Also, as a side note, she was donor conceived so the initials AI may be a bit 'weird' given how she came about!)
I was thinking of adding a second middle name - an option would be May/Mae as this was my other nan's middle name, but does anyone have any other suggestions of names that would work?

I think you're overthinking it Smile there are much worse words for initials to form than a word that means help.

I love two middle names so I would pick another. Not desperately keen on May as it always feels like a filler mn so I would go for:
Alissa Ivy Catherine
Alissa Ivy Cara
Alissa Ivy Susannah
or
Alissa Florence Ivy
Alissa Constance Ivy
Alissa Maia Ivy

I doubt many people would really notice the initials, but if you think it would bother you then another middle name sounds a good idea. (Make sure the initials don't up as ARID or ACID though!)

Alissa Marianne Ivy
Alissa Ivy Charlotte
Alissa Jennifer Ivy
Alissa June Ivy
Alissa Beatrice Ivy
Alissa Pearl Ivy
