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?

Excellent choice. Welcome to the world Clara ☺️

Definitely this, it's a gorgeous name!

Yes thanks for your input...it's my amazing DD's name.

Leonora Madeleine. 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3. Lovely.

I came here to say that putting Elizabeth as a full stop would help with all the As.

Leonora Clara Elizabeth Taylor-Scott

Agree.
Congratulations 🎊

A friend that is the same issue once she gave birth. The characteristics they had hoped to see in the child with that name were actually were manifested by their new kitten. The kitten got the name. They decided on something totally different, Charlotte Brene. I love what they chose, their grandmother loved what they chose.

Clara Elizabeth is nice.
What about Eleanor ?

I was literally just about to fight the Clara Elizabeth corner, what a beautiful name!! Congratulations 💐

Leonora Madeleine would be a lovely combo, Clara Madeleine is lovely too. Arabella always feels a bit much for me.

Look at the flow of the first name and the surname, not at the first and middle names.

What will you be calling her day-by-day. Any potential diminutives or nicknames.
Leonora is bound to be shortened at some point.

Do you like Clara Taylor-Scott?
Clara Scott?

What about Beth as a middle?

Leonora Beth

Clara Beth

Leonora Clara is a little bit of a mouthful but you don’t ever really call people by their first and middle names so why not

Leonora Clara is lovely!

Congratulations on your new baby.
You have great taste in names anyway. I adore Leonora but don’t think Clara works as a middle name. Leonora Elizabeth is better.

Clara Elizabeth would totally be my instinct. Clara is pretty, simple to say and spell and fairly classic. Elizabeth is completely timeless with amazing history and a myriad of nn’s too if for any reason she doesn’t like Clara. Together the names tell a lovely family story for whenever she eventually asks why/how she was named (and is more interesting than just “we liked the sound of it”🤣).

Leonora is pretty and unusual, but it's quite long so you need to be prepared for a NN, im guessing nora is the obvious choice and that has a very different feel to it.
I wouldn't have 2 names ending in a personally. So Leonora arabella or clara is very sing songy. .
I like Bella more than nora so would go arabella. But with a 1 or 2 syllable middle name after either of your favourites.

What about just Beth as the middle name ?
Leonora Beth
Arabella Beth
Clara Elizabeth
Clarissa?

Clara, Leonora and Arabella all sound too 'a' with Taylor-Scott.
Say them out aloud.

My favourites, inspired from your list..
Leonor Clara Taylor-Scott .. Leonor Taylor-Scott is smart.
Leonor Elizabeth Taylor-Scott
Elizabeth Clara Taylor-Scott
Arabelle Elizabeth Taylor-Scott
Madeleine Clara Taylor-Scott

Clara Madeleine Taylor-Scott

Clara Madeleine is gorgeous.

Clara Elizabeth Taylor-Scott is lovely!
They are your favourites all rolled into one beautiful name.

If you have another daughter you can still choose ..
Leonor Arabella Taylor-Scott
Madeleine Leonora Taylor-Scott.

Seriously? There are still so many other people called it, I find this odd.

I see OP has picked and her choice is lovely but in case anyone else is reading I think Lina is a great short for Madeleine if you don't like Maddy and it's a beautiful name.

I also love Madeline, which is not even pronounced the same way!

Personally think Leonora and Arabrlla are abit fussy / frilly. Clara is absolutely beautiful and actually hardly know any and have been in girl world for 18 years now.

Ooh you’ve gone for Clara! Good shout gorgeous name.

Clara Elizabeth flows beautifully and Clara is a beautiful name.
