Help with MN

So, we decided on Delaney as soon as we knew we were having a girl as it's my great grandmother's maiden name. The problem we are having is that I want to include Pate as a second MN on the birth certificate in honor of my grandmother. Having a hard time finding a MN that goes with Delaney and Pate. Also, our last name is a very common 1 syllable name. I thought of just Delaney Pate, but it just seems like a bunch of surnames without personality. I saw a rec for Delaney Pearl and loved it, but DH is a huge Pearl Jam fan and don't want to deal with the comments on that one (plus Delaney Pearl Pate doesnt sound nice) I also like Rose (bc we are currently living in England), but DH nixed that one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I think even with a 1 syllable last name I think Delaney Pate would sound fine, unless your last name starts with a "P"

    I think Delaney Pate sounds perfectly fine, and I really love that they're both family names.  If you have to add a fourth name to the mix, I would stick a very short traditional name to the front, like Anne Delaney Pate Lastname or something like that.
