Almost there
We've almost decided how to name our second child, a brother or sister to Myrtle Nola... If it's a girl. Boy names are much harder, but we're working on it. For a girl we're down to two choices:
Hester
Olive
Which one do you like best? How about middle names? Or maybe Olive Hester? Hester Olive?
Mommy to Myrtle Nola (22-10-2012) and baby due 25-05-2015

Liv sounds too modern, I think. I generally don't like -enne names.
I think Hester is the perfect choice and Hester Olive is lovely. It also matches well in the sibset and is refreshingly uncommon, yet quirky. Big fan.
As for alternative middles:
Hester Golda
Hester Maude
Olive Gladys
Hester Blythe
Hester Eudora
Hester Muriel
Olive Agatha
Olive Elmira
Olive Frances
Hester Oona
Hester Molly
Hester Edith
Olive Francine
Hester Enid
Hester Melba
Olive Aster
Olive Agnes
Hester Wilma
Hester Greer

Thanks! Our Myrtle is a very lively girl with a strong will. She sure is a handful ;-) I do like this age though.
I think Olive will age better of the two. It seems to really work on all levels.
