Finally narrowed our names down to these two. Any preferences? Baby due immenently. I think the plan is to see what she looks like and then decide.
I was never this uncertain with my son but have always found girls names more difficult.

Erica is lovely but IMO its a the type of name that has to be chosen for a reason eg after an uncle or grandad named Eric. IYSWIM. But I'm probably in that mindset because DD's best friend is an Erica both her granddads were named Eric.
Clara Elizabeth is very elegant and Sophisticated. If you go with it are you going to hyphenate it.

Clara Elizabeth
Or Erica Charlotte
I want a more traditional middle name.
Surname is short - one syllable - both work well with it.

I like both, guess how it fits with surnames & middle name could swing it??

Clara is elegant and perhaps more unusual :-)
