Fern as middle name.

I have a wonderful great aunt Fernande, who I would love to honour one day by using Fern as a middle name on a future child.

What would you pair it with?

My great aunt was Fern and my sister named her daughter after her. Her name is Jocelyn Fern. :D

My great-great aunt was named Myrtle Fern. I don't recommend that.

Since Fern is rather old school (not in a bad way -- I think it's got a cute classic feel to it, the same way as names like Hazel or Harriet, two of my favorites), I think I'd go with something a little less old sounding, you know what I mean? I think it would balance well with a name that doesn't automatically make you think "Grandmother." (Yet another reason why Myrtle Fern is not a good choice.)

Ideas:
Vivian Fern
Katherine Fern
Lucy Fern
Alexandra Fern
Zoe Fern
Norah Fern
Olivia Fern
etc.
