Expecting my 4th baby in about 2 weeks. Currently have 2 girls, Grace Imogen and Sadie Helena and 1 boy, Henry George.

Number 4 is a little girl. At the moment we are considering

Elsa Rose (being named after 2 grandma's)
or
Eve - but we can't come up with a middle name that sits well with Eve so suggestions would be most appreciated.

Our surname is Olliff and it is quite tricky to find names that don't sound too ridiculous with it.

All opinions would be most appreciated.

I love the names of your children. Also love Elsa Rose. For Eve, I think you need a 2 syllable name - e.g Marie, Rhian ...

Or even 3-4 syllables in middle name to go with Eve.
What about your DC grannies? Are their names or their mothers' names suitable? Family tree surnames that you're fond of may work, too.

Patience

Margaret

Helena

I love Elsa, but it doesn't run well into Olliff.

Elsa Olliff. I would put Elizabeth on the birth cert and use Elsa as a nn.

Names that do not end in a vowel work best with your surname.

Eloise Olliff
Juliet Olliff
Phoebe Olliff
Beatrix Olliff
Florence Olliff
Rosemary Olliff
Marianne Olliff
Penelope Olliff (poppy or polly)

Calista, Clarissa
Martha, Melissa
Sofia

I love the sound of Elsa Rose but am not sue it rolls with your surname (dp too ahs a harsh surname that doesn't marry well)

How about:

Francesca Rose Olliff
Vivienne Rose Olliff
Kate Rose Olliff
Amara Rose Olliff
Tabitha Rose Olliff
Elizabeth Rose Olliff
Georgia or Georgina Rose Olliff
Jasmine Elsa Olliff
Annabel Rose Olliff
Isobel Rose Olliff
