Clara’s sister is called…

Looking for ideas for a sister for Clara. We are finding it hard to find a name which compliments it without making it sound a bit fusty. Open to most suggestions and we are not fussed about popularity.

I have a Clara and an Isla.
My Clara’s middle name is Alice which I think is lovely with Clara x

@inheritancetrack

Choose a name you love. Names don't have to be rhyming couplets. Whatever you choose will go together because they are names you adore.
Exactly, I never quite understand these threads asking for names that 'go' with the sibling's name(s). It's not like they'll be forever known as a double act like Ant and Dec or something. Clara is a lovely name so I'm sure any other name you choose will also be lovely, I doubt you're going to choose a name like Sharon or Tracey. I've never heard the names of siblings before and thought to myself that the names don't go?

Clara and Angela or Pamela

Most names will go with it but I'd avoid Anna or Annabelle - or they'll sound like Thomas's carriages
