[Opinions] Chic French name needs a sweet middle name
DH and I decided that we love the name Sabine (sa-been)for our second daughter. We are trying to find a sweet middle name that flows well with it. I can't seem to get Sabine Lily out of my head. I don't particularly love the flow, and her initials would be SLO which aren't the best, but I can't find anything that is quite as sweet as Lily. I really like Lilia but DH likes Lily more.
Is Sabine Lily awful, or could it be cute? Any other ideas?
Our first daughter's name is Eva Natalia (EY-va) if that helps.

I like Sabine Lily much more Sabine Lilia.
Don't worry too much about initials, unless they're something like FML or ASS. I have a friend with the initials BS. People have pointed it out to her (like she doesn't know...), but no one has ever seriously made fun of her for having those initials. I don't think SLO is that bad anyway.

I don't like Lily with Sabine, in terms of flow (and they don't have the same vibe), but it's not awful.
A form of Eleanor could be pretty, and there are lots of them:
Sabine Eleanor
Sabine Elinor
Sabine Leonor
Sabine Leonora
Sabine Eleonore
Sabine Eleonora
Sabine Rose
Sabine Margot
Sabine Victoria
Sabine Elisabeth
Sabine Alice
Sabine Lucia
Sabine Ivy (similar to Lily in sound and meaning, but a little more elegant)
