I know 2 18 month old Claudia’s (one pronounced ‘cloud-ia’ and the other ‘claw-dia’ Both lovely little girls so I would opt for that. I think it’s likely coincidence that I know 2 as I’ve never known any others and don’t think it’s particularly popular?

I prefer Beatrice - feels much more classic and classy to the rix ending.

I’m not sure if any follow particularly well together - although how often do you say your child’s middle name?!

Claudia Tullulah would be best IMO

Claudia Beatrix

Maybe I'm happy for it to have an edge of pretentious wanker? In honesty I find Claudia a very normal name (aware of the meaning but not worried by it, obviously I'd prefer it so mean 'sun beams and rainbows' but it's not a deal breaker), Tallulah is a family name (shock horror) and I just like Beatrix (and also Beatrice) - I think of it as inoffensive but not too boring. Personally I'm not a fan of frequently used one syllable middle names, but each to their own.

We'd opt for the claw-dia pronunciation.

Beatrix Tallulah (Trixie Lu) is blooming gorgeous.

I take it back about Claudia. I had a friend I didn't like with that name when I was growing up, so I'm biased, but it is a 'normal' name.

Thanks extinct. For the record, no I'm in no way connected to Rees-mogg (nor am I a tory).

@alwaysmuddy tbh I think most of my name choices would be viewed as borderline pretentious wanker and I’m not ashamed to admit it😂

Saying that I don’t think Claudia is anywhere near pretentious - it’s lovely

Claw dia is the usual English pronunciation, Cloud ia is the German pronunciation. I like it, OP, and Beatrice. Beatrix reminds me of the joke, beer tricks, but it's also nice. Sorry, dislike Tallulah.

Glad to hear it OP.
