A brother or sister for Claudia

My DH and I seriously struggled to come up with dd's name. She is Claudia Margot, which was a compromise but I do love it. She has a second middle name but I don't want to make myself entirely identifiable.

DH has entirely different taste in names. He likes Diana Margaret, which although I like it, I don't want Diana link and Margaret too similar to Margot. For dd, my mother suggested Claudia and DH deemed it acceptable. I'm hoping that'll happen here too. These are my favourites:

Barnaby
Hector (DH approves so not struggling for a boy's name as is is what we would've used for a boy last time)

Fenella, known as Nell
Sylvie
Dahlia
Isadora
Nina
Romily
Clementine
Paloma
Leonora

If I like these, what else might I like? (I am only a tiny bit pregnant, but this could take the next eight moths......).

And I do want a name that goes with Claudia: that matters to me.

Perdita more of a cats name to me I'm afraid, tho it is pretty.

Constance
Violetta
Etienne ( I know this is a French boys name but it always seems like a lovely girls name to me!)
Meredith
Jacinta

The Claudia I know has Georgia and harriet as sisters.

I love Romily and think it goes really well.

Perdita is lovely but I think was the mother dog's name in 101 dalmations... and Octavia is a model of Skoda 😳 Sorry. Lovely name but that's the first thing that came into my head, so thought you'd rather know!

I love Diana, I posted about it here recently as I'm also not keen on the Princess link, but love the sound and letters and think it's a great name. I think you have to be late 30's now to immediately assume the PoW link, so unlikely to be a big thing with DD's peers. More like Grace / Grace Kelly, more of an abstract older icon? To be honest I'd say Camilla in the coming years will be more of a royal link, particularly in DD's school years as current Queen will likely no longer be around.

Also love Portia, Georgia / Georgina, and Harriet, as previous posters have mentioned. My other shortlisted name currently is Nina? Think that goes really well with Claudia too.

I love Leonora and Sylvie. And your DD's name. Dislike Diana Margaret!
What about Catalina, Lisette, Marisa, Charis, Aurelia?
