We are finding it difficult to choose a name for our second baby (another girl). We have a Beatrice so we need a name that goes with that. We like Florence and Clara so it would be great to know which you prefer and also if you can think of any other names that go well with Beatrice. Thanks

I think Florence goes better with Beatrice.

I've met lots of Claras, but no Florences, so I don't think of Florence as being popular. Maybe it depends on where you live.

Other suggestions are Helena, Rosalind or Cressida.

I like Clara.

I like both but would say Clara as its less used.
I know a Beatrice whose sibling is Olivia.
I suggest Claudia, Elizabeth, Rebecca and Evangeline.

Thanks for the replies. I love Annabel but DH is not as keen. It's interesting to know what people think about Florence versus Clara.

I love the name Clara! It's beautiful and rarely used.

Florence is waaay too popular right now, not loving Clara, sounds like a harsh word if that makes sense?!

Clara. Florence is just too popular...
But I agree with the people that suggested Annabelle. That's also lovely! :)

See I would say Clara as it's equally as unusual, whereas Florence is much more commonly used. I also love Annabel...

Florence for me. I love it and it goes well with Beatrice.

Clara is lovely but I don't think it fits as well.

How about:
Annabel
Charlotte
Ruth
Ruby
Julia
Emilia

Florence is the best by far though imo
