Marigold, Romilly - any others?

What are your thoughts on Romilly ("Romy") or Marigold ("Goldie") for a baby sister to Clara? Any other ideas? I also love Clementine and Margot but my DH isn't keen. We like old fashioned English names that aren't overdone but are not totally weird - feels like a hard balance!

We have a Romilly - it's a lovely name and suits our daughter well!

Also, she goes by Romilly rather than Romy (we weren't sure if she would want to shorten it or not, but she prefers Romilly).

Some similar names we considered for DC2 (a while ago) were Emmeline and Ottilie, although I think these are quite popular now in some areas.

Meredith nickname Edie? Clara and Edie sound so cute together.

I do love both Romilly and Marigold, I think Romilly goes better with Clara.

Other suggestions:
Blythe
Joanie
Amelie

I'm not keen on Romilly, Marigold - rubber gloves, Goldie sounds like a labrador.

not keen on Marigold sorry. Or Emilia (it's too similar to Amelia for me)

Love Clara and Romilly.

Romily/Romy- I either read Roomy or Romany for some reason, so not keen. Also seems more modern than Clara.

Clara and Marigold- together they could be pet cow names! I like them separately though.

Coralie (Coral or Cora)
Magnolia (Maggie)
Violet/Violetta
Fleur
Doris (Dotty/Dot)
Hazel
