I love Orla Ren and Orla Ivy most :) Very pretty :D

Thank you :)
Weirdly Ren seems to be classed as a Boy's name in Japan!

[behindgrey-eyes.livejournal.com]

My best friend has been teaching in Japan and she loves the name Ren for a girl, but did note that it was definitely more of boys name there.

I honestly think you could put a lot of things with Orla. Seeing Rae made me think of Mae as well, that might be quite cute :)

Ivy is on my list, so I'm partial to that. I think Orla Ivy and Orla Ivy Snow sound beautiful. I'm very hit-or-miss with multiple middle names, but that combination is lovely!

[annika-j.livejournal.com]

Agreed, I'm generally against multiple middle names but I love that combination too!

[audiobiblio.livejournal.com]

I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and if we have a boy, he will have two middle names to honor family members. But my husband and I were even a little iffy about that. But certain names just go REALLY well together and I think your names definitely do. :)

I like Orla Ivy Magee the best. Etta is my favorite from the group but I think Ivy flows the best!

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

My favorites are Orla Eve and Orla Bea. Have you considered Orla Evelyn or Orla Beatrice?

[babyxdoll.livejournal.com]

Orla Rae sounds pretty :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/-dahling-/]

I love Orla Eve Magee and Orla Snow Magee.

[bingybingy.livejournal.com]

I like Orla Ivy Snow. Usually I'm not a big fan of 2 middle names, but it flows so well.

[bloojanuary.livejournal.com]

I like Orla Snow or Orla Bea. Definitely sounds better with a one syllable middle name, since the first and last are multiple. Such a beautiful name you've picked out!

[eveyalecia.livejournal.com]

Orla Ivy is my favorite :) Very pretty.

[hibiscus-hedge.livejournal.com]

I love Orla Bea! :)

[starcrossed.livejournal.com]

Orla Snow is my favorite ♥

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I think a one-syllable middle name sounds/flows the best. Out of these, I like Orla Snow :)

[becomingun.livejournal.com]

Orla Snow or Orla Bea!

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

I vote for Eve, Ivy or Rae. :D

[so-there.livejournal.com]

Orla Wren! :)

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I like Orla Snow and Orla Wren.

A lot of these names begin or end with a long E sound and that bothers me with the last name ending in --ee. In a lot of cases, I don't mind having two names that end in --a, but for some reason, I don't care for Orla Nessa. It doesn't bother me in the case of Etta, but I have trouble going from the --a to the "eh" sound in Orla Etta. So that leaves Snow, Rae, Ren, and Wren. I really like Snow as a middle name, but it's just not vibing right with between Orla and Magee. I have no idea why I feel that way. Rae I have just never liked. I like the sound of Ren, but it seems more like a nickname. I think I've heard of a Lauren who went by Ren. Wren seems more complete, being as it is a whole word, and achieves the same sound.

So that's my rambling logic behind why I vote Orla Wren

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

The ones I think work best are the one-syllable middle names, or the ones that at least don't have a lot of the same sounds as Orla. I like:

Orla Ivy
Orla Snow
Orla Bea
Orla Eve
Orla Wren

[pixie-bones.livejournal.com]

Orla Ivy
Orla Wren

[sictransitsuzy.livejournal.com]

Orla Rae
Orla Wren

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

My vote is for Orla Wren (and not because Ren is a boys name in Japan, just because I think it looks prettier). That's my hands down favorite! :)

I'm partial to Ivy cause it's my daughter's name, but I love Orla Ivy and Orla Wren.
