Middle name for a LADY!

[pickleshmickle.livejournal.com]

Howdy all!

So I had posted awhile ago wanting boy names.  Well just found out we don't need them anymore!  We are finally having a girl (and after my seven year old niece said THIS the other day i'm a bit freaked out, "Look Andi, I can do the splits in SKINNY JEANS!"  yeah, she's seven.)  Anyway I now need some help with a middle name.  Her first name will be Matilda.  She will be joining Oscar Owen (my maiden name) and Harvey Oliver.  Last name is one syllable and starts with a big fat B.  

I personally am in love with the middle name Eloise.  If I had that name when I was a little girl I would have been ecstatic.  I mean come on, TWO kick ass little girl book character names?  AWESOME!  my husband does KIND of like it but wants more options.  and i vetoed his pick, Lulu, with no questions asked.  in a second.  and then i felt a little bad for it.  but now i don't.  anyway.  so if anyone has any other middle name options i could give him i would be forever grateful.  I'm a bit tired of the whole picking out a name game.  it's too much pressure.  

so Matilda _____ B.  and not Cecile please.  or Lucille.  or anything of the like.  I really don't want to name her after my MIL.  she'd gloat about it for the rest of the poor dear's life.  Thanks all.

--Oops, sorry, and an edit for one more clarification.  No Mae's please.  I think i've seen about four of my facebook friends have babies in the last year and give them that middle name.  and growing up with the middle name of Dawn, i really don't want to do that to her.  Ah the infamous Dawn/Don.  (nightmares of Designing Women growing up.  Plumber named Don on there with a MASSIVE butt crack.  my brothers NEVER let me live that down.)

I thought of you guys...

Yesterday, I was at the grocery store, and I saw that the cashier's name was Sejla (with a "v" symbol above the S).  I complimented her on her name and she said it was pronounced "Shayla".  WDYT?

I don't know if I worded the subject right but, oh well.

I never really liked the idea of combo names even though my name is a combo name (Millard and Brenda=Melinda) until my sister had my niece.  She and her boyfriend had been struggling with finding a name that would be 'Italian enough' to satisfy him while also remaining something my sister actually liked.  Anyway, the day she was born (which was incredibly eventful to say the least), they surprised us with this name:

GiaLena Marie S.

Gia was a name my sister liked.
Lena is her boyfriend's grandmother's name.
Marie is my sister's middle name and her boyfriend suggested it since my sister nearly died giving birth.

The name took a bit for me to get used to but I think it fits my miracle niece perfectly now!

For curiosity's sake, what do you think?  And have you seen any other "combo" names like this that you liked?

Confused?

A little boy in a preschool sports class:

Jean-O

Pronounced like the name Gino.  I'm thinking maybe the parents didn't know how to spell the name? So they made it up? I'd think that Gino would be unique enough (in our area) without having to make up a totally weird spelling.
