Olivia Jane. And it might possibly even stick.
Why Olivia Jane? Well, Jane was the only name floating around in my head when we found out Henry was not a possibility. But what goes with Jane? It is so sweet and simple that most middle names just didn't flow well to our ears. So then came the list. A list of about 15 possible first names including both Olivia and Jane.
While wondering through Target (before I lost my keys and freaked out at a crazy mean Spanish woman but after I let Audge eat almost an entire bag of crasins) I was talking to my sister about the list- Telling her the names I remembered. Then she went to get ready for work and I wandered some more. Hmmm... Olivia Jane... That could work.
Later my sister called back and I ignore the call- I was busy with the Spanish woman that decided to basically park her giant SUV sideways right next to my car and prevent me from opening the drivers side doors (forcing me to load Audge and Caitlin and myself through the passengers doors). But that's another story that still angers me so I'll get back on track.
I called her back later that day and she told me she came up with a name. I guessed it right off. Either inspiration or great minds thinking alike. Probably inspiration though because we don't often think alike, my sister and I.
So it made it though David's exacting ear just barely- he thinks Olivia's are darker haired and skinned. More like an olive. Our baby will never be that. He also thinks of Olivia as a pig. The ball is in his court now- he must better Olivia Jane with a new option or decide to love it.

I LIKE IT! Hopefully your husband decides to like it b/c then I would win the name game. :D Olivia Jane Burgstrom . . . I think that has wonderful flow. Excited to learn the final result!
Emily. This is so funny. Just this morning, I was thinking that I'd really like to name my next girl Olivia and that I thought Jane went well with it. However, Mike also thinks of Olivia the pig... Also, that preschool stuff is coming, I'm just pulling myself back together after Women's Conf.
Yay for a beautiful name(if it is agreed upon). I am a big fane of the name Jane as well, but we will never be able to use Olivia(my husband's name being Oliver, he didn't want a female namesake). Congrats, I hope it sticks!
