Looking for an English middle name for our daughter

[amelie2781]

Hello! I'm half-French, half-English (living in France) and my husband is Berber, so our daughter is going to have three names (French - Berber - English).
The French name will be Olivia (it is rare in France), the Berber name Lehna (meaning "peace"), but we can't settle on an English name.
It must :

• be immediately identifiable as English
• not start with an E or P (the initials would sound silly in French)
• not start with the sound [a]

ex :
Olivia Lehna Cecily (but husband doesn't like it)
Olivia Lehna Juliet

any other ideas please? I'm due in 6 weeks!

Olivia Lehna Rose?

I was going to suggest Rose too! I think a one syllable name would work well

I quite like Rose but it is spelt the same way in French, so people won't see it is English...

Jessica

Catherine?

Juliet is beautiful. What about Phoebe? Is that seen as French?

Olivia is very very popular in England, it's on the number one spot.

Alice
Catherine
Mary

Kate

I like Mary too.

May

Sarah
Beth
Lucy
kate/Katie
Harriet
Imogen
Millie
Daisy
Maya
Susannah
Megan
Grace

Clare
Caroline
Elizabeth
Helen
Jane
Anne

Mary

Connie/Constance?

Jane

(what's berber btw?)

Hope
Faith

Victoria

Jenny or Jennifer?
Susan
Belinda

Now I think about it, it's hard to find a name that's really English.

Fiona sounds very English.

Catherine, Constance, Elizabeth, Claire, Caroline, Helen(e) all French.

Or Kate - Catherine is French but Kate is very English.

Thank you for your help!
I'm adding May, Kate and Jane to my list.

To Shakirashakira : the Berbers are the "native" inhabitants of North Africa (before it was colonised by the Arabs). Their language has nothing to do with Arabic.

Mary, Ruth, Jane, Martha (although a th would be tricky for French ppl to pronounce maybe)

Godiva has a long English pedigree ...

Bellissima, Fiona is Scottish. Now, if the OP had asked for Scottish, Irish, Welsh or Cornish suggestions, I'm sure there would have been more suggestions.

Olivia Lehna Anne
Olivia Lehna Victoria
Olivia Lehna Britannia
Olivia Lehna Katherine
Olivia Lehna Antonia
Olivia Lehna Emma
Olivia Lehna Agatha
Olivia Lehna Boudicca
Olivia Lehna Aelgitha
Olivia Lehna Edith

Okay I stand corrected! - although the Fionas I have come across have been deeply English.

But I have certainly come across French Annes, Katherines (okay mainly Catherines but what's a letter), Edith (aye-dit), Judith (You-dit - mainly French Jewish name), Agathes (okay not quite Agatha but.... its a paste jewellery shop).

A friend Julie moved to Paris some time ago thinking her name very English, only to find it becoming more common for little French babies.

Apparently Zidane Zidaine or however you spell (DH would despair of me) a Berber, indeed most Algerians and Moroccans originally of Berber descent although only a few still speak the Berber language.

Still stand by Kate.
