Struggling to pick a name for our 4 day old

[Luckyasall]

DH and I welcome our lovely little baby girl into the world 4 days ago, before she was born we had a list of names we liked but decided to wait until she was here to decide for sure, but now we still can't quite decide and I'm not sure how much longer I can go on calling her baby girl!

Our shortlist is
Leonora (personal favourite)
Arabella (DHs personal favourite)
Clara (seasonal contender, we go to see the nutcracker every year and baby girl was born on the day we were due to go see it this year)
Madeleine (really not a fan of Maddy as a nickname).

My personal choice would be Leonora with Clara as a middle name in place of using Elizabeth (both of our grandmas are Elizabeth but I'm not really attached to using this and it feels like we are filling a gap).

So full name Leonora Clara Taylor-Scott

But DH is worried it doesn't flow well so thinks either

Arabella Clara or Clara Arabella would be better.

Madeleine is the name we first set on naming a little girl when we got married and started TTC but I'm not sure it feels right now.

Any thoughts?

anjtger vote for Clara Elizabeth. It flows better than all the rest to be honest

I like Clara Elizabeth as it has meaning for you both.

Leonora Clara is lovely, you don't often say the names together so it's not much of an issue. However, Elizabeth has meaning so I would go with that if you aren't sure about the flow of Leonora Clara.
What about Leonora Elizabeth Clara? Two middle names not uncommon
I don't like Arabella at all

Clara Elizabeth for sure. Lovely that both your grandmas are Elizabeth so the middle name has meaning. I love the name Clara, and the missing the nutcracker because you were giving birth to her gives the name a lovely little story!
Arabella Clara (or vice versa) is definitely too ‘a’ heavy. As is Leonora Clara, though not quite as badly.

I’d go with Clara, no question. Absolutely beautiful, under used, and flows beautifully with surname. Elizabeth for middle name.

People are very rarely are going to say the whole name so go with whatever you want and don't worry about the a issue.

Clara Arabella Taylor Scott I like the best.

Not a mad fan of Leonora - would it get shortened to Nora and would you mind?

Clara wouldn't get shortened. Arabella likely to be shortened to
Bella which is nice.

I don't think Cleo could be further from our taste if it tried!

DD has a hyphenated name and 2 long first and middle (8, 6, 8-6), she hates it. She has more letters just in her first name than her friend does in her whole one so on that basis Id go for a shorter first and middle.

She also has a _belle name and thinks it's too feminine and doesn't suit her. She would have been a good Harriet in hindsight.

Clara is a lovely name so I think Clara Elizabeth or Clara Leonora.

My DD is Madeleine. She is known as Maddie but has more recently gone by Mads which suits her.

After a little more back and forth and a nap. I think we are going to go with Clara Elizabeth. DH pointed out that I've only just started like Leonora as a name but I've liked Clara for a long time. I also love that both Clara and Elizabeth have meaning/a little story to go with.

Clara Elizabeth is great. And congratulations! 💞

Leonora sounds nice

I have a Clara Elizabeth - she's over 30 now and I still love her name. She loves it too.

Leonora Elizabeth is absolutely lovely.

Clara and Arabella are nice but popular.

Madeline I don't like.

Clara Elizabeth is gorgeous. I love names with sentiment behind them,

Co an I put in a last minute vote for Clare, rather than Clara? For no real reason except the I like it better🤣and it's more unusual.....

Leonora Elizabeth works for me. Lets also works as a nn.

Congratulations!

Clara Elizabeth - just lovely!!

Leonora makes me think of lenor fabric softener. Not remotely a fan. Clara is lovely.

Clara Elizabeth is perfect - love it!

Clara Elizabeth is a lovely choice. I'd definitely use Clara if I had another DD!

Arabella is definitely my favourite

Clara Elizabeth is perfect
