Sister for Clementine with long winded surname!

Any ideas please...our first dd is Clementine and surname is double barrelled beginning with A and very Italian. Neither of us speak or look particularly continental. However there is lots of French and Italian blood!

So I know we are having a girl but he doesn't! It's the way we roll! I mamaged to keep it secret last time so here goes to me holding back again!

Looking for lovely girls names which sound nice with Clementine (teen) and don't begin with c, end in 'a' or 'ine'! Similar type name so not hugely common but not way out there. Although our surname is massively long and complex I'm not keen on really short simple names and would love something with a good nn.

Bizarrely also want similar type boys names just so I can continue spoofing my husband! 😄

Hit me with some ideas please!!!

Out of your choices. Florence is by far the nicest.
