Sell me with the perfect middle!

Girl Names

So I have been tossing around the idea of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] “[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]” in honour of my late father. The two combos I have right now are [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] ([name_f]Maple[/name_f] being another more subtle way of honouring my Dad) and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] ([name_f]Jane[/name_f] being in honour of my mother) however, one of the combos feels maybe too out there and the other feels a bit safe and plain.
I would love to hear your suggestions for a middle name for [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], something that may help really sell me on the name over all. I really go back and forth on it in general. Anything goes! Last name will likely be hyphenated Z-M. Something with less syllables will likely flow better!

Edit to add - I think I may be gravitating to an “A” middle name but not sure if the A ending on Philippa would run into it. What do you think? A middle suggestions?

I really like [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], as well as the suggestions of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]. I was going to suggest [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but then I realized it felt familiar because that combination belongs to a famous person.

[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is perfect.

I love [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I also think the suggestion [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is beautiful. It has the same long a sound as [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but is a bit more unexpected, if [name_f]Jane[/name_f] seems too safe to you.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! Good luck!

Thank you all for the suggestions so far!
Still liking [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
I am liking the suggestions of…
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] would be a great mix of an honour name to my dad, me and my grandmother.
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]

I think I may be gravitating to an “A” middle name but not sure if the A ending on [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] would run into it. What do you think? A middle suggestions? (Adding this to my original post now too)

I think you’re fine to use an A- middle after [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] a lot.
