Looking for a middle name

in Baby Names
Just found out this baby is a girl so now my focus is on a name. Evelyn is our front runner because of some family ties, but I'm struggling with a middle name! DH like Rae (because she will be a "ray of sunshine") but a recent post showed me that might be a little too country bumpkin for my liking. Names I like, just for reference, are Clara, Nora, and Mila. Some family names include Dawn, Ann, Elaine, & Lee (although I don't necessarily need a family name). 

Also, how common is Evelyn in your area? I'm worried it's one of those classic names that's making a comeback and she will one of a few I bet class.

    I love Elaine as a mn in general it's actually what we used for DD. Not sure if two E's would be something you would want though.

    suggesting:

    Evelyn Diane
    Evelyn Irene
    Evelyn Adele
    Evelyn Lorraine


    Its not super popular where I am in Ny. We have more Eleanor's and then Eve and Evas

    Evelyn Elaine sounds nice!
    Evelyn Claire could be an option (since you like Clara)
    Evelyn Brooke
    Evelyn Paige
    Evelyn Gail

    I like Rae, my grandmother's middle name. I saw the recent post you're referring to. I think it sounds too country with certain names, but Evelyn Rae is lovely. I think Evelyn Dawn is nice too.

    It's not popular here, we have more of the Clara's and Elizabeths coming back lol 
    I like Evelyn Nora, I agree 2 E's might seem too much. Evelyn Dawn is cute too!

    Evelyn Ardelle
    Evelyn Paige
    Evelyn Grace
    Evelyn Heather
    Evelyn Jolene/Jolie
    Evelyn Joann/Jan
    Evelyn Joyce
    Evelyn Lorraine

    First, I love the name Evelyn! Second, I agree with PPs on:

    Evelyn Elaine 
    Evelyn Dawn
    Evelyn Nora

    Thirdly, suggesting:

    Evelyn Fiona
    Evelyn Rose
    Evelyn Bianca 

    Lastly, I've never met an Evelyn here in Kentucky. Good luck, mama!

    Evelyn is super popular in Massachusetts but we didn't know until we had already named our LO! We don't regret it at all anyway. I love it.

    Evelyn Ann or Dawn are ok in my book! Not huge fan of Nora because the Ns flow together too much. 

    Other ideas?
