Magdalena
I never really thought about this name but I saw it in a magazine and though wow it's really pretty. What would you put as a middle name? What are your opinions on it.

I love it - almost enough to use. I think the only reason I've dismissed it as a usable name is that I definitely want to use Margaret, and wouldn't want two daughters who could be called Maggie. It's in my family tree several times from a few centuries ago (along with lots of Aganethas!). I also like the nickname possibilities - Magda, Maggie, Lena, maybe even Elena.Magdalena Ruth is the combination that's coming to mind for me.(Edited to correct a typo.)

I agree that it is very pretty & also has an exotic European feel to it.
I wouldn't use it myself though because it is so long and just too much name, I guess. There are lots of nickname possibilities though. It also makes me think of Mary Magdalene.
