My boyfriend and I are expecting a little girl in May. We've both fallen for the name Reagan and Olivia. We are stumped on a middle name for Reagan. Help fill in the blank please!

Reagan ________ Thirion

Oh, and which do you like better:
Olivia Marie Thirion
Olivia Lynn Thirion
((Yes, they are both basic middle names, but Lynn is mine, my mother's, and his mother's middle name and Marie is my little sister's middle name.))

TIA!

ETA: Okay, the boyfriend and I had a talk. He wants either Olivia Lynn or Reagan Marie. A vote and or thoughts would be nice. I really want to get this baby named!!! :)

We like Reagan Olivia, but want at least one more child, so want to save one of the names. If we don’t get to end up using it, that’s fine as well.

Also, I noticed a lot of people like to pick names based on siblings as well. We already have a 3 year old named Emma Jean.

Olivia Lynn has been chosen. Thanks to all!

Why not go with Reagan Olivia or Olivia Reagan? They sound nice together IMO :D

I like Olivia Marie better because the repeating 'L' sound with Lynn is awkward.

As for a different middle name for Reagan, I'd go with something that doesn't end in an 'N' sound since the first and last names do.

Reagan Lee
Reagan May
Reagan Marie

I think Olivia Reagan is nice, but considering the family significance Lynn holds, I vote for Olivia Lynn. I think Reagan and your last name have a similar ending, which doesn't flow nearly as well as Olivia Lynn Thirion.
Also...Reagan reminds me so much of the president...not a fan. But that might just be me!

I'd vote for Olivia Lynn--I think it sounds better with your surname, and although they don't flow that well together, middle names that have family importance are a lot more important to me than middle names that flow perfectly with the first name.

Wow. My daughter's name was Reagan Lynn. My middle name is Lynn too.


I love both names(Olivia Lynn and Reagan Marie) though but I'd probably go with Olivia Lynn because Lynn has connections to both you and your boyfriend.

I just wanted to point out that there is an actress named Olivia Thirlby, which is what Olivia combined with your last name made me think of :) Olivia is still a really cute name so it's not that big of a deal.

I love Reagan though!

My daughter's name is Reagan Elizabeth. I thought about using Reagan Marie. I saw that you already choose Olivia Lynn, but still thought I'd comment with how much I adore the name Reagan. Olivia and a beautiful name too.
