Clara still needs a middle name

Actually, she doesn't, we'd be quite happy not to use one, but I'm still hoping for some divine inspiration. There's no family names we'd like to use. Throw all your ideas at me please!

Surname is two syllables and starts with D.

UBER random (genuinely NO clue why this came into my head) - was looking at active; saw thread title, and immediately just thought 'Elise'

Have NO clue why, as not even on my own list of names when had DCs!

Clara Elise just sounds beautiful x

You could go slightly out there with the middle name.

Loveday?
Niamh?

I actually really like the Belle suggestion above!

I don't think Rose works really. Clahruh rose. Too many 'r's. I would also avoid anything beginning with a vowel eg 'Clara Anna' as it would come out sounding like 'Clara Ranna'. Something beginning with 'M' would be good.

Marie?
Marianne?
Marnie?
Miriam?
Madeleine
May?

Or the ubiquitous 'Grace' would also work.
