Hello! I have 4 kids whose names all have a triple theme(vaguely plant, subtle family member honoring, and the all have a happy/joy/laughing theme). Its a lot of pressure to put on a first/middle combo, besides it being something we like, haha.
We don’t currently have plans for another, but i just ran across Myrthe which means myrtle, and of course sounds like mirth/happiness.
If Myrthe is the middle name what should be the first? Family honoring is the uncovered category. We have a John Michael (my dad, our only parent we haven’t directly honored), a Melody, and a Lydia that would be my top choices to honor.
Any brilliant ideas for me to add to my list?
ETA- we like uncommon/unique names, but that make sense with spelling/pronouncing. My husband and I both have names that were popular/ common, and there was always other kids with the same name in whatever class or activity we were in. We’d rather our kids didn’t have that.

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor Melody)
[name_f]Melina[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor [name_f]Melody[/name_f], I think it could also honor the name Michael)
[name_f]Nydia[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor Lydia)
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor Lydia)

[name_f]Mika[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] / [name_m]Mica[/name_m] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor Michael)
[name_m]Misha[/name_m] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor Michael)
[name_f]Sonata[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor [name_f]Melody[/name_f], I was thinking maybe a music-related name?)
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (same as above)
[name_f]Alodia[/name_f] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor Lydia)
[name_m]Joa[/name_m] [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] (to honor John)
I wasn’t sure how uncommon/unique you wanted (for example, if well-known names that are uncommon for current babies counted).
I also think any J first name with [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] could honor [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] well since it would be the same initials!

Oh, what a great list, thank you! Lots to consider there! [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] and [name_f]Sonata[/name_f] are definitely catching my eye right now. 
I love the catch that a J— [name_f]Myrthe[/name_f] would be same initials as [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m]! Very clever.
Thanks for the ideas!

@Greyblue Oh, fantastic list, thank you! I’m especially feeling [name_f]Evanna[/name_f], [name_f]Cadence[/name_f], and [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] at the moment.
I love [name_f]Jolie[/name_f], and [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] too, but they’re too similar to names I’ve already used, haha. 
Definitely adding some of these to my runnjng list! Thanks again!
