They are all lovely, but my favorites are [name]Felicity[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name], due simply to their elegance and freshness.
All five follow a similar pattern, in that they are 3+ syllables. When picking the double middle, I would choose one monosyllabic option in each combination-- these often provide a sense of finality. For example, [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Jane[/name] works beautifully, but [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Violet[/name] both flows poorly and is just too many collective syllables.
I adore [name]Eloise[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name]. They are both on my girl’s list.
I voted for [name]Matilda[/name]. No matter how used that name is, I’ll never stop adoring it.
As for middle names, I think [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Alice[/name] are really lovely, I really think that [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] are wonderful together. [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Mabel[/name] could work too.
While [name]Matilda[/name] is more my style and is my favorite on your list I also really love [name]Eloise[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name]. [name]Eloise[/name] is fresh and sweet sounding, while I love the meaning of [name]Felicity[/name]!

All lovely names! I think of [name]England[/name] for some reason 
All proper and sweet.
I love [name]Felicity[/name]. I just think of a sunny little girl with a kind disposition. I also like [name]Matilda[/name] because it seems equally tender.
[name]Eloise[/name] is one of those names that is growing on me, and I do really really like the nn for it!!
[name]Penelope[/name] is beautiful but it’s on the rise, which deters me from using it. [name]Pepper[/name], however, is to die for! Cutest nn [name]EVER[/name]. And I like [name]Pippa[/name] so very much.
[name]Isabelle[/name] is pretty but so overdone that I’m not even into it. [name]Belle[/name] on it’s own is lovely and makes a great middle name for some added charm - like [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Belle[/name] or [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Belle[/name].
[name]Cate[/name] as middle name is one of my absolute favorites!! [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Cate[/name] would be adorable!
[name]Hi[/name] great to meet another Aussie on board here!
Naturally I have a love for [name]Matilda[/name], it is a lovely name and feels very patriotic also.
I really like [name]Isabelle[/name] too but if the popularity factor is too much then either put it in the middle or go with something else.
I think you may like [name]Adelaide[/name]. I am not a fan of [name]Felicity[/name] but [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] is lovely.
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] would also be a great match.
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] nn [name]Mimi[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Margot[/name] nn [name]Cara[/name]
[name]Phillipa[/name] [name]Cate[/name] nn of [name]Pippa[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name] [name]Helena[/name]
rollo
PS I am not a fan of [name]Penelope[/name] but like [name]Penny[/name]
0llington is a long surname, so I think your idea is a good one.
I really like [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Esther[/name] together, but not with [name]Rose[/name] (the Rs blur). [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Esther[/name] [name]Jane[/name]?
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Esther[/name] [name]Anne[/name] is perfect, too; also [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Ava[/name] [name]Rose[/name].
[name]Penelope[/name] needs a short middle. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]/[name]Kate[/name]/[name]Rose[/name]?
And [name]Felicity[/name] sounds so nice with [name]Catherine[/name]. [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]?
Wow, hard choice. I voted for [name]Felicity[/name] but also love [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name]. In order for me it would be:
- [name]Felicity[/name] (my favourite nn is [name]Fee[/name])
- [name]Matilda[/name]
- [name]Penelope[/name] (I like [name]Penny[/name] but if you don’t, [name]Pippa[/name]!)
- [name]Isabelle[/name]
- [name]Eloise[/name]
I think any of them work as sibling names. Here are some combos:
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Amabel[/name] (adore this combo! love [name]Felicity[/name] with [name]Catherine[/name])
[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Camila[/name] [name]Michelle[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Susan[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Rose[/name]

I voted for [name]Eloise[/name]. I think it’s the most elegant name. Since you live in Australia, I’m surprised you don’t have [name]Flick[/name] as a nickname for [name]Felicity[/name]! [name]Every[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] I’ve known has been called [name]Flick[/name]!

You made it so hard to choose! I voted for [name]Felicity[/name], but I also love [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], and [name]Matilda[/name].
I was actually going to suggest [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name], but blade beat me to it.
Other thoughts:
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Jane[/name]/[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
This is a great list! All of these names are on mine too :). [name]Love[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]…my combo would be [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] if I go this route. It’s getting popular but I don’t think it speaks to everyone so can’t see it going last top 20. [name]Eloise[/name] is another top name of mine. Very hard to come up with mn’s but I might go with [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]. I also like [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name], or [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]. [name]Love[/name] the name [name]Charlotte[/name]! [name]Matilda[/name] is also great. My combo is [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] or [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]. And [name]Felicity[/name] is wonderfully fun. I like [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name], or [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Autumn[/name]
