I like Olivia Beatrice and I love using family names. I do also love Olivia Scarlett.

I love family names, so I would probably vote for Olivia Beatrice.

However, I think Olivia Bea Harris sounds even sweeter!

Olivia Beatrice (love the family connection).

I really like all of the MNs (better than Olivia, honestly). If you use Delanie, please us a different spelling. Delaney is much less cutesy.

Bea is also an option because his grandmother prefers to be called Bea. However, we've been told by a few people Bea sounds too short, or like an initial not a name.

I thought Olivia Beatrice Harris sounded too "sssssss"-y and that's why we are looking into other middle name options.

We prefer the spelling Delanie, cutesy isn't a bad thing Big Smile

My favorite is Olivia Violet, but I do also like the idea of using a family name and think Olivia Beatrice is also pretty.

I'd do Olivia Beatrice since it is a family name; it is a little 's' ish, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Of the four options though, Violet is my favorite.

Really? We debated on this because hubby and his Mom think it sounds like an initial. Bea is what his grandmother prefers to be called.

Beatrice or Violet I like a lot.

Yea I think it sounds pretty. I knew of one older woman named Bea and she was so nice. Do you like Bea or Beatrice more?

since harris is your last name i think a longer middle name is best. i don't particularly like delanie but the flow of it, IMO, is best. if i didn't know your last name i'd have said violet.

I agree too ssssss-y i think all of those seem too long.
