Following on from my previous thread where it was 50/50 as far as not knowing any Clara's to people knowing lots, I'm trying to find a new idea for a sister for Mabel.

I also hadn't thought of it being pronounce Clair-ah and much prefer Clar-ra, so unsure of how would be pronounced here.

I loved Clara, Margot and Martha but having vetoed Clara and Margot and Martha sounding too twee with Mabel I need some help. THANK YOU!

Mavis! ....but it's a bit matchy and you are going to lose your mind shouting the wrong name for the next 15 years!

I see Millicent has already been suggested...that was my first though
I quite like Esther and Rose or Rosa?
