We had almost settled on Katherine for DC 3 but dh has said he is going off it. We liked Kate for a shorter version but it sounds a bit short with our surname.
Opinions please on our other options:

Zoe
Lara
Zara
Sophie
Claudia
Julia

Similar to Lara, I really like Lauren
Otherwise not Sophie. Nice but there are so many.
Zoe good

Zoe is my favourite, but I love Katherine, Kat/Kate.

Like them all. I loved Claudia, but was put off by the meaning (lame) (and the fact that I wanted a family middle name that started with a J; we are all huge West Wing fans and wouldn't have been able to help ourselves from calling her CJ! 😂)

Not many people would know the lame meaning though; it must be a Latin root thing rather than what the word actually signifies, if you see what I mean.

Lara is nice too. Unusual but classic.

Yes, Claudia!

I like them all but Claudia is my favourite.
