Middle name for long first and surname please

It's looking likely that DH will finally agree to Aurelia for our DC if she's a girl!

I thought I'd craftily start thinking of middle names, so as to dupe him into thinking Aurelia's a done deal

I think a one syllable middle name would be best as our surname is 3 syllables and double-barrelled. The full name would be along the lines of Aurelia middlename Bank-Tyler

I'd like something a bit unusual so want to avoid the lovely but popular Rose, Grace, May.

I've toyed with ignoring the name length and going with other faves e.g

Aurelia Florence
Aurelia Clementine
Aurelia Matilda (I'm not keen but it's DH's fave so might make him happy)

Even though full names are hardly ever said aloud, would these still be too much?

Short names I've thought of are:

Aurelia Hope
Aurelia Belle
Aurelia Love (I'd adore this but suspect no-one else will including poor DH!)

Thoughts and suggestions welcome please.

I really like Aurelia Florence and Aurelia Clementine

I like Hope as well but don't think it fits as well with the first and last names.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions so far.

I'm pleased Aurelia Florence and Aurelia Clementine have gone down well, I thought everyone would say they'd be too long. Anyone think we should be going for something tamer given Aurelia's not the easiest of names?

Any more takers for Aurelia Hope?

oceryo: I kind of agree with you re Hope but I can't figure out why it doesn't fit better!

I'm keen to hear of one syllable names rather than two, as if we do go for a two syllable one then we might as well have Florence, which was a contender for the first name.

pedrothellama - Fern is lovely, I'll add that to the short-list, it fits the bill as I'm really aiming for something a bit unusual but not too weird, given her other names will be a bit of a mouthful!
