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!

Lorna is unusual, without being dated ( like Karen or Julie ) or yoonique.

I know of one ( adult) and no children.

Helen or Elizabeth are beautiful - and despite the popularity of "old-fashioned" names, I don't know any young ones

Maude or Millicent to keep the theme of slightly granny chic.
