Middle Name Choices

edited May 2016 in Baby Names
I'm ready to decide on my little one's name! We've landed on a first name that we are both happy with, but can't settle on a middle name.

Harper is a meaningful family name, but it is also getting very popular... we wouldn't use it for a first name anyway, but it's the only one of these options that really has meaning behind it.

Brooke and Belle are in the running because we like letter nicknames (LB) and would probably call her by her first and middle sometimes with one of these since they are short and sweet. I'm concerned about Leah Brooke sounding dated and concerned about Leah Belle sounding like Taco Bell. Please tell me if I'm nuts.

Magnolia was briefly in the running for a first name before we decided it didn't sound great with our last name. I think it's a beautiful nature name and one of the only flower names I have found that sounds nice with Leah... except for the Leah / -lia alliteration. Too much?

Thank you for your input!

    I personally wouldn't worry about Harper being popular as it's in the middle spot, so that would be my first pick.  Second pick is Leah Brooke.  I think Leah Magnolia is a little rhyme-y (with both ending in -ah).  I don't like Leah Belle - it doesn't remind me of Taco Bell, but it does sound a little too southern.

    Ideas for other flower names:
    Leah Violet
    Leah Rose
    Leah Ivy

    Ideas for other B names:
    Leah Beth (also kind of southern sounding)
    Leah Beatrice
    Leah Brynn

    Leah Harper reminds me of Harper Lee
    Leah Belle doesn't sound like a name and runs together 
    Leah Brooke is fine just a little eh

    I think Leah Magnolia sounds kind of odd. Leah Brooke is nice and I like pp's suggestion of Violet. 

    Leah Rose
    Leah Katherine
