Middle names: What do you think?

We have gone back and forth on whether the first name would be Daisy or Maisie. If it was going to be Daisy, we liked Daisy Amelie. But DH has a preference of Maisie. I don’t think Amelie goes with Maisie because of the “ie” spelling of both but struggling to come up with a Maisie combination we both love.

Current ideas:
Maisie Ivy Rose
Maisie Orla

Which do you prefer and why? Is two middle names okay?

Two middle names is fine but Maisie Orla sounds much nicer to me. Maisie (and Daisy) is quite a cute/sweet sounding trendy name to me, so I'd avoid very popular/overused names like Ivy, Rose, Grace, May etc to pair with it.

If you prefer 1 or 2 syllables like Orla/Ivy or Rose something more classic/traditional would be my choice like: Charlotte, Jane, Clara/Clare, Emma, Eve, Laura/Lara, Anna/Anne, Sarah/Sara, Faye.

Do you like Maisie too? Personally I love it but it sounds like it's not really your choice.

Two middles are fine. I'm not keen on 2 flower names though - even though I do like both Ivy and Rose separately. I don't think either Ivy or Orla flows well with Maisie. I like Maisie Orla best of your 2 options though. I also like Daisy Amelie.
Some ideas:
Maisie Rose
Maisie Rosamund
Maisie Blythe
Maisie Hannah Rose
Maisie Violet
Maisie Luna Rose
Maisie Fleur
Maisie Beatrix Ivy
Maisie Carys Ivy
Maisie Charlotte Ivy

Two middles is fine! There are so many cool names it can be hard to pick!
Personally I love a middle name with a family connection though.
Maisie Amelia would be nice.

Maisie Orla from those, but I prefer Daisy.
