Middle(s) for Agnes -- due in 4 days!

Update: Posted in Birth Announcements!



Hey all! You were so helpful with this post that I thought I'd pick your brains some more!

We haven't decided 100% that Baby's name will be Agnes, though I've been feeling it the whole time, and the three of us agreed that it's a fab name before I was ever pregnant (my 12-year-old adores the Despicable Me character and says if Sissy comes right now her name will definitely be Agnes). We were all in complete agreement on Felix for a boy, but we've had such a difficult time discussing girl names!

Anyway, my biggest problem with Agnes is that I can't decide on a middle or middles. Henry has two middles (James & Parke. Parke was given at birth as an honor name and James was added around age 6 to honor someone else, though not legal at this point). All of Henry's names -- including our last name, Wh1te -- have 5 letters, but I don't necessarily need to keep Girlie's names in the same pattern.

Others on our list -- some are family/honor names, some I love the Shakespeare connection, and some are/were considered strictly for middles:

Alice
Arden
Beatrice
Bliss (this is an extra-special honor name and would go in the second-middle slot if we use it)
Celia
Della or Delphine
Edith
Eloise
Estelle/Estella
Flora
Gertrude
Harriet
Ingrid
Irene
Jewel
Josephine
Lucille
Lillian
Mabel
Phebe/Phoebe
Rosaline/Rosalind (ROZ, not ROSE)
Willa

If you can come up with some combos for Agnes, whether they include these or not, I would appreciate it so much! I can't even think straight at this point because I'm worried my membranes have ruptured (they didn't with Henry so I'm not sure what it feels like! ack!). I may have to check in with you from the hospital!
