I was thinking of these names:Queen Maria (Muh Rye Ah), after that sweet Maria Lucas in Pride and Prejudice. Mikkayla Diana. Or is that too unoriginal?Olivia Jane. Or is that too plain?

(Muh Rye Ah) is spelled Mariah to me... and that is a lovely name.
Otherwise, I personally like Marion a lot. It reminds me of a fav of mine (Clarion). Mikkayla Danae is better. Olivia June is far superior to Olivia Jane.

Danae is pretty, and I've always loved the Greek Names. How do you pronounce it though? Is it pronounced like Dana?

Don't know for sure how to pronounce it but I would imagine it would be similar to Janae. Which I pronounce JA-nay

Exactly... dah-nay. That and Janae always make pretty middle names I think.
Never really considered them as firsts (though my brain is now, look for a post!)Danan (i.e. Elora Danan) would make a decent alternative, but I would go with Danae.

When it comes to the name June, I believe that I can come up with something a bit better than that. There are names here like Ayla, Freya, Titania, and yet all I can come up with is June? Come on! LOL I agree with you about Jane being plain. I was thinking of Jane because of Jane Austen and the character in Pride and Prejudice, that's all. I think I may look at some Old Norse names for her middle name, as Olivia has Old Norse roots as well as Germanic.
