What's a good middle name?

Found out I am having another girl today. I am having her name put on her baby comforter (or whatever its called). I know that we want her first name to be Navvy (like Navy the color blue or the army of the sea just with two v's). I however have no idea what we should choose for her middle name. Its tradition in my family to give the second girl the moms middle name... but Navvy Autumn sounds weird to me. Anyone have any ideas? I want it to be unique.

Everyone makes a really good point about the spelling of the name Navvy. It is true that it can cause alot of errors as she grows up with people thinking it is a w. There were alot of great ideas on the spelling...which Navie I really love!! If It was me I would def go with Navie Autumn...That is really nice.

I like the name with Autumn but i didn't know that autumn was a colour lol! I think the spelling is an issue really. I could see why people would read Navvy and nah-vee insteady of Nay-vee. But if you spell it Nayve people might think its Nayv and not pronounce the "e" at the end. You could spell it Nayvey, i like Naivey or Nayvie or Navie (but that could also be pronounced Nav-ee). Whew its a lot to think about!!

I think Naivey or Naivie look best so im going to use those to think of middle names....
Naivie Lynn
Naivie Levana (went for a theme here, Levana was the Roman godess and protector of Newborns and the Navy are protectors of the sea)
Naivie Joy
Naivie Rain
Naivie Star
Naivie Lucy
Naivie Anna

Those are just a few suggestions....!

I agree it's an adorable name... but i do have to say that I had a lot of trouble reading through the posts without constantly thinking it was a "w" in the middle. Since this day in age, so much is typed, I imagine it will cause a LOT of problems when she's older. Everything from teachers trying to read class lists (we get them typed from the office) to important documents possibly being in the wrong name.
Also, people will probably pronounce it nah-vee instead of nay-vee since when you double up on a consonant the vowel before becomes a short sound.
If you don't like Navie (which I like a lot!), what about Navey?

Navie looks weird to me and Navy is too... normal spelling. Her last name is Barcy. So Navvy Autumn Barcy isn't bad... but DH thinks that its too many colors. When I suggested it he was like "What's with you and colors?" Haha.

Navvy... I think it looks funny with 2 v's well when you type it anyways it looks like a w. but I Like the sound of the name. A middle name that would go with that hmm... maybe.... Navvy Bliss.... or Navvy sophia....
