What will be Claudia's middle name?

Our DD2 is due in around 6 weeks and so far the only name DH & I agree on is Claudia. (We initially liked Francesca but decided it was a bit too much of a mouthful).

No strong feelings about middle names though - we already used 'family' names for DD1 so there is no name I feel we ought to use.

The only one I like so far is Claudia Emmeline but think DH will say it's too long.

Names ending in T don't suit our surname so Harriet, Juliet, etc are out.

Dd1 has a name starting with M, same syllables as Claudia. She has 2 middle names as we were trying to please both grandmothers! I'd really like to give both girls 2 middle names just to be consistent but DH keeps telling me it will drive them mad when filling out forms later in life!

Any ideas?

Don't like my own name enough to use it!

We've already used Elizabeth & Jane as DD1's middle names. Put all my eggs in one basket as I never imagined I'd be lucky enough to have a second child - would use Elizabeth as a first name if we hadn't already used it!

We love the West Wing & the character of CJ was a big inspiration behind the name but for that reason I want a different middle name, I wan to make sure she has a name that's unique to her!

Frances is lovely. What about your name or mn as a second mn? Might be be nice for both dds to have a family name?

Goes beautifully with Claudia.

Jean.

Claudia-jean is also the character off the west wing. Amazing. CJ for short. Ultra cool to have initials option when a teen btw

My Claudia has mn Josephine. Love Claudia! ( and would love Claud for my next ds but that's weird right??)

Emmeline is great. How about Adela (Emmeline Pankhurst's daughter I think) or Estelle (Sylvia Pankhurst's given name)

Ooh I hadn't considered Frances for a middle name, having discounted Francesca. Claudia Frances is lovely. Joan is not likely though as one of DD1's middle names is Jane.
