help with middle name

So we are expecting our second daughter in March 2013.  We are 99.9% on her first name being Samantha......  I tend to like 1 syllable  names for the middle which was how we ended up leaning towards Grace.  Samantha Grace.    However we have always loved the name Charlotte and this just came back to us. I know its long but now Samantha Charlotte is a consideration.  I think Grace is smoother with Samantha.    Our first daughter is Olivia which I know is very popular so I don't know why the popularity of the name Grace is bothering me. Thoughts?

I say use whatever you love. You aren't going to be saying "Samantha Charlotte go clean your room!" Or "Samantha Charlotte, do you know what 2x6 equals?"

even if it sounds long when you say it as a full name, how often are you really going to be saying her full name, unless maybe she is in trouble?

I'm so over Grace as a middle name (this, of course, should not change your mind if you love it).

What about Brooke or Blair?

I like it - and if you and your DH like it - that's all that matters

that is kind of how I feel too...So over Grace as a middle name....not that it isn't beautiful....it is.....its just UGH everywhere..LOL Brooke is a favorite of ours but rhymes a bit with our last name.....  

Keep suggestions coming though.....

I think grace flows better, but Charlotte is nice. So either way I like it.

I love Samantha Grace! I think it is classy and refreshing! I wouldn't worry about the popularity of the middle name so much!

I don't think it is too long.  Go for it if you love it.
