Middle Name for Ivy Mayer

Girl Names
1

Hello all!
A friend of mine is having a girl and she and her husband landed on [name]Ivy[/name] (their last last name is [name]Mayer[/name]) but they’re having trouble with a middle name, so I thought I’d see what all of you name gurus could come up with.

She thinks the flow of [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Mayer[/name] is great, but is not all that keen on using [name]Elizabeth[/name].

We’ve been trying to find something sort of energetic and unexpected–nothing frilly or overly feminine, and not too traditional–preferably with one syllable, or three or more.

It can’t be nature-related though, because that’s a bit of overkill with the first name [name]Ivy[/name].
Also, she’s not interested in any names that are 2 syllables because both [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Mayer[/name] are 2 syllables.

A lot of criteria, I know.
So any thoughts?

Shortening [name]Elizabeth[/name] to [name]Eliza[/name] is a great idea; I think [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Mayer[/name] is pretty great.
I also really like:
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mayer[/name] (very fun to say, indeed!)
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Mayer[/name], and
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Mayer[/name]

Thanks again for your input!

i just added ivy arabella and ivy araminta to our girl list. but they are rather feminine and frilly =)

I first thought [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Lucinda[/name], but I’m not sure if that strays into overly frilly territory.
