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 like the idea of sticking with an O middle name, as you did with your boys.

What about Ophelia or Olive?

But then her initials will be MOB.
