A pretty, girlie middle name

Found out today baby 2 will be our second girl.

Pretty set on Olive as her first name, looking for something quite pretty and girlie for a middle name to balance it out. DD1 has a similar ‘oldie’ first name with the middle name Alice.

No family names that work, and Olive has a family connection, so looking for a middle name to go please!

I like Olive Maria, Olive Marie, Olive Rose or Olive Pearl 😊

Come back when you choose a name you love! Hopefully someone suggested something you like

I like short middle names so for me it would be something like

Olive May
Olive Ann
Olive Grace

How many consonants in your surname and what does it begin with?
I think Olive really needs a hard consonant for the middle name but depending on your surname could take something long or short e.g Olive Jean Kent sounds a bit abrupt but Olive Jean Williamson is softer…..

Begins with H, two syllables, 4 consonants in it!
