Middle name for Esther

Expecting second dd soon. We've decided on the name Esther but can't agree on a middle name. I like Beatrix (too popular?) and Sidonie. Husband unsure on both.
Any ideas?

Bella sprang to mind.

Sidonie is nice and unusual but you have to decide you feel about sibilance.

'M' names come to mind too. Miriam (v old testament combo), Marianne, Margot, Margaret.

I think 'landing on' a B or an M works well, with such a vowel-heavy, 'airy' sounding first name.

T or S are the other obvious choices, to carry those sounds through the name, not necessarily as the initial, e.g. could be Clementine using the T sound.

I think Beatrix ticks all those boxes of course! Especially with the x ending, not ce, which runs into sibilance again.
