I don’t think it matters a great deal, honestly. [name]Maris[/name] [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Maris[/name] [name]Larkin[/name], and [name]Maris[/name] [name]Odette[/name] are all really great combos, and since [name]Bella[/name]'s and [name]Mia[/name]'s MNs are more masculine/unisex than [name]Juliette[/name]'s is, it doesn’t really seem to be as obvious of a theme. I think [name]Maris[/name] [name]Odette[/name] fits in just fine with the others. Is there one combo you like better than the others? I think they’re all great, really.
Good luck!
Thanks, [name]Ash[/name].
I’m probably thinking about it too much. I just didn’t want it to be obvious that she’s the only one without an Irish middle. I like [name]Odette[/name] best 
I would have said go with what you love if the Irish middle name options weren’t so gorgeous! [name]Love[/name] [name]Maris[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]. Also, I’m a [name]Marisa[/name] and [name]Maris[/name] [name]Odette[/name] makes me think of the few times my mother has referred to me as [name]Maris[/name]-o (I guess a some weird attempt to make it a nickname) so it just has kind of a weird association for me lol. I think they all work nicely though so you’ll have a beautifully named baby girl regardless
I didn’t know [name]Sloane[/name] was Irish, so I don’t think a lot of people will pick up on theme or broken theme. I voted for go for your favorite! However, I really like [name]Maris[/name] [name]Larkin[/name], nice name
1 [name]Maris[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] - I think this name flows the best!
2 [name]Maris[/name] [name]Odette[/name]
3 [name]Maris[/name] [name]Larkin[/name]
Thanks, all! There would only be a handful of people that know (or care about) our kid’s full names. I’m pretty sure I’m being crazy.
I appreciate everyone’s feedback
Go with the one you like the most! It wouldn’t be fair to tell your kid ‘well, I don’t love your middle name, but at least it’s Irish’ 
Thanks, svea. I do LIKE [name]Quinn[/name] and [name]Larkin[/name] but I looooove [name]Odette[/name]. You’re probably right 
I think the other names would go well with [name]Odette[/name], because they don’t scream irish. It would have been different if it was something like [name]Niamh[/name], [name]Eilidh[/name] and [name]Odette[/name]. My favourite is [name]Quinn[/name] though.
I think that for most of her life your daughter will be seen (& defined) by who she is and not by who her siblings are or how much of a ‘set’ they are. Middle names are rarely used “out loud” and are mostly sentimental or very personal, so give her the most beautiful name that you feel you can that reflects the love that you will have for your daughter.
Well said! Thanks, lrmum <3
[name]Maris[/name] [name]Odette[/name] is too lovely a name to pass up. Go with the name you love! Loving a name is far more important than continuing a theme (in the middle spot, no less).
You’re sweet. And right. Thanks!
I think if you have a “theme” then you have to stick with it!!! You don’t wanna leave one child out. :(. Lol
Ugh! Now I don’t know which to do…again!
[name]Hi[/name] there - here’s a different thought.
Why not have [name]Odette[/name] (the name you love) as a first name and choose an Irish middle to have the best of both worlds?
[name]Odette[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] for example. lol
I WOULD use [name]Odette[/name] as a first name but we have a daughter named [name]Juliette[/name] and I feel like they’re too similar to be sisters. That is a cute combo, though, [name]Odette[/name] [name]Quinn[/name].
Plus, I’m teetering on obsessed with the name [name]Maris[/name]
