A sibling for Cleo...Help!

Hi,
Currently in the third trimester and we're really stuck on names. We have a DD named Cleo and aren't too bothered about shared initials. Would love some opinions and suggestions!

I really don't know how I'd describe our style so our list is a bit of a mish-mash. I don't mind longer names but it'd definitely get shortened in our house, which is absolutely not an issue but something to consider I suppose.

Our current maybes are:

Girl:
Cora
Astrid
Constance
Opal
Hera
Rosa
Lena (Len-ah, Polish pronunciation)
Otylia (Polish spelling, would this cause issues?)

Boys:
Caspar
Sidney
Magnus
Conrad
Silas

I'm not easily offended so would love honest opinions and suggestions! TIA x

I like the alliterative ones so Cora, Caspar, Conrad. I like all your list though except Opal, which doesn’t roll off the tongue and feels a bit clunky, and Sidney which sounds more like a girls name in modern use and a bit old geezer for a boy.

What about Cole for a boy which is an anagram of Cleo.

Some other suggestions:
Ramona
Tamsin
Tabitha

Marcus
Joel
Micah

I love Sidney for a boy or girl!

Other boy ideas, Clifford (Cliff) or Niles.

Other girl ideas, Selma, Juno, or Della.
