I have 3 boys and we’re expecting a girl - after having a list for so long I’m now finding it really difficult! Appreciate these aren’t to everyone’s tastes but asking for opinions or favourites anyway :-)
Boys are Rafe, Milo and Otis.

Clementine
Cece
Gala
Lilac
Leonie
Etta
Iris
Leo
Clemence
Paloma
Appoline

Congratulations! As your boys names are all 4 letters it seems in theme to keep baby girl’s 4 too.

of your list I like:

Cece - love this as a nn but not so sure as a full name (could be a nn for any C names though!) so what about Cali, Cora, Cara? Or slightly longer - Clara

Etta - I think this is the best one of your list! Gorgeous.

Iris - lovely but quite a mouthful with Otis

Leo - love this but people may assume you to have 4 DS when they just hear names- if that doesn’t bother you I do think it’s quite cool for a little girl

Other suggestions:

Rafe, Milo, Otis & Ayla
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Alys
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Anna
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Emma
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Alma
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Nora
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Leah
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Inés
Rafe, Milo, Otis & Wren

I like Leonie, Clementine and Paloma.

Leo is a boy's name, or did you mean Lea? Which is quite nice.

Another vote for Iris!

Maybe Astrid as well….

Clementine - not my taste. -tyne or -teen?
Cece - no idea how to say it
Gala - did you mean Gaia? Gahla or Gayla?
Lilac - a bit different but quite nice
Leonie - ok
Etta - not keen. Ate a what?
Iris - nice
Leo - not for a girl
Clemence - makes me think think of a goalkeeper called Ray
Paloma - not keen but it's ok
Appoline - no
