help with second baby's name

[alibali.livejournal.com]

I'm pregnant with #2 and we won't know if it's a boy or girl until it's born. Family tradition is to use the first initial of relatives who have passed on recently.  My husband and I have each lost our grandmothers so we have M and R to use.  We've decided if it's a girl we'll use R for first name and M for a middle name.  If it's a boy, we'll use M for the first and R for the middle name.  So far, we like Max for a boy (but, is it a full name?  We could also use Maxwell if that sounds better - we're not comletely sold on it yet) but have no idea what to use for a middle "R" name.

Any suggestions for a girl with initials R M or a boy M R would be appreciated.  We have a daughter already so bonus points if it "works" with Ziva Claire.  It's kind of hard to find names that sound nice but don't rhyme with Ziva.

Hah, it’s funny you should have those initials for a girl, because back before I got pregnant with my first daughter, hubby and I had talked about naming a future daughter Rosalie Margaret, after his grandmother and mine respectively. Not sure if that’s really your style, but I like it. Maxwell isn’t really my style, but I don’t mind it. Hmm, for a middle name, Robert is the first one that pops into my head. Probably because it’s my husband’s name, and my grandfather’s name. I think Maxwell Robert sounds really dignified. Also, Mason Robert goes well, and it’s a name we tossed around for a boy. Congratulations, and good luck!
