    In need of middle name inspiration!

    It seems every six months I go through a list revamp! So I've taken my list from August and have compared it to my rough list from February. The combos I liked were marked with an OK, but there were a few that were just "nyeh." So I've come up with a couple of new middle name ideas. The problem is, none of them feel right.
    Below are my ideas- can you think of anything that goes well with Mae, Celia, Ada, Amabel, Alice, Lavinia, Sybil and Jane? I love vintage names but I'm warming up to names like Poet and Sonnet as well. Right now I'm just collecting.

    Mae Delilah, Mae Josephine, Mae Sonnet, Mae Clementina
    Celia Violet, Celia Lark, Celia Leontine, Celia Lenore
    Ada Frederica, Ada Rosamund, Ada Rosalind, Ada Sonnet
    Amabel Ottilie, Amabel Jessamine, Amabel Clara, Amabel Verity
    Alice Mariposa, Alice Genevieve, Alice Elspeth, Alice Viola
    Lavinia Pearl, Lavinia Rosamund, Lavinia Anne, Lavinia Charlotte
    Sybil Poet, Sybil Lark, Sybil Bronwen, Sybil Matilda
    Jane Araminta, Jane Parthenope, Jane Leontine, Jane Fiammetta

    Thanks in advance!

    Your style is VERY similar to mine! I love old-fashioned, vintage names, but am also warming to slightly quirky, whimsical names. My current favourite girls name is Magnolia Charlotte.
