I think rose works better too.

Why Claire out of interest? It's a pretty name but as I am in my 40s it's the name of a million girls I went to school with and hence fell out of fashion.

It's probably due a revival. I'm guessing you're in your 20s or early 30s and don't have that association.

Unless it's a family name of a loved one?

Does she need 2 middle names? I can understand if you want to 'honour' 2 grandmothers or something, but just for the sake of it?

I prefer Claire Elise.

But if you really want 2, then
Claire Elise Rose

Her initials ( should it matter to you ) spell Carb. However I do prefer it to Elsie.

Rose is much nicer but initials better with Elise.

Claire April Elise

Are you sure about Claire? It seems so so dated to be honest. Clara is much nicer. If you must though then Claire April Elise.

I like both, erring slightly more towards Rose at the moment... One question though, what's the first letter of your surname?
