MIDDLE NAME NEEDED for our 2nd daughter!!

Okay!
Here's the scoop.. our first daughter is Avery Jane Kirklund.
We have FINALLY agreed on Reece (not sure of the spelling yet) as a first name. However, the middle name is killing us..can't come up with something! We like girly names that are classy and unique.
So the spelling variations are: Reece, or Reace. What do you think and anyone have any suggestions??
Starting to stress--only 8 weeks left. Thanks a million.

I think Reece goes very well with Avery. I wouldn't spell it Rease.
Here are some ideas for middle names I think go well to match Jane (I've tried in most cases to match Avery's 3-1 combo with a 1-3 combo for Reece):
Reece Katharine*
Reece Madeleine*
Reece Abigail
Reece Margaret
Reece Marian
Reece Isobel
Reece Mirabelle
Reece Violet*
Reece Lilac*
Good luck!

Ooooo - Christmas baby, possibly??? I have 7 weeks left, but mine is by c-section.
Of the two, I like Reece better.
Just for fun I'm going to put some "winter" or "christmas" names in there for the mn since she'll be born so close to Christmas.
Reece Noel (or Noelle)
Reece Holly
Reece Neva

I prefer the Welsh Reese spelling (Reese Witherspoon), but between Reece and Reace, I FAR prefer Reece. (Reace looks like a yooneek spelling which in my humble opinion doesn't have the classy vibe you're going for. I also see the word Race.)
Reese Alexandra Kirklund (although the S sound in Reese attaches to the A in Alexandra when I say it out loud, which may or may not bother you) :-)
Reese Juliette Kirklund
Reese Marielle Kirklund
Reese Olivia Kirklund (popular, though, and it has the same issue as Alexandra with the s sound from Reese)
Reese Victoria Kirklund
I think a longer middle name (at least three syllables) creates a lovely flow.
Good luck! :-)
Edit: Oops! I used the Reese spelling...Just pretend I used Reece. :-)

Just to second (or fourth or fifth) the Reece spelling, I agree with Jill (it was Jill wasn't it?) that Reese is very nice but between Reece and Reace, I definitely fo with Reece. When I se Reace, I see Grease. Not a good connection for a littel girl to have.
Middle name possibilities that i think are pretty with Reece are:
Reece Katharine (though this was suggested. I love it though!;)
Reece Amelia
Reece Rebecca (maybe too similar here)
Reece Bethany
Reece Laurel
Reece Virginia
Reece Caterina/Catriona/Katrina
EDIT* Sorry for all the spelling mistakes! I clicked send before I looked it over!

Reece Annabel
Reece Lauren
Reece Juliet
Reece Victoria
Reece Elizabeth
Reece Olivia
Reece Kathryn
Reece Marisol
Reece Bianca
Reece Helena
Reece Elena
Reece Karina
Reece Fiona
Reece Lane
Reece Natalia
Reece Gwendolyn
Hope these help!

Why can't you spell it Reese (like Reese Witherspoon)? It looks the most feminine to me, and Reece is a masculine spelling according to babynames.com. By the way, Avery and Reese are PERFECT sibling names! Love them together!
Reese Gwendolyn Kirklund
Reese Morgana Kirklund
Reese Annabel Kirklund
Reese Elinor Kirklund
Reese Eliza Kirklund
Reese Juliet Kirklund
Reese Madeline Kirklund
Reese Margaret Kirklund
Reese Matilda Kirklund
Reese Rosanna Kirklund
Good luck!

I second Reese, and Reese Caroline. Reece/Rhys are the boys spellings and in my opinion she will spend her life correcting people, if you spell it Reese, she can say Reese like Reese Witherspoon or Reese with a s.
Avery Jane &
Reese Hazel
Reese Pearl
Reese Frances
Reese Lily
Reese Iris
Reese Viola
Reese Fern
Reese Helene
Reese Sofie
Reese Olive
Reese Kate
Reese Anne
Reese Ada
Reese Cora
Reese Ida
Reese Inez
Reese Lula
Reese Mary
Reese Nola
Reese Elsa
