Middle name for Clara

Hello! Would really appreciate some help as we have a three week old baby. Her first name is Clara but we are really stuck on middle names so would be grateful for some help! Her registration appointment is early next week so we haven’t got long!
I like:
Clara Lucy
Clara Ruby
Clara Alice
Clara Madeleine

DH likes:
Clara Louise
Clara Amelia
Clara Jane

Any preferences and other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

surname is one syllable and begins with an N if that helps.

Hello! Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions!

I have been reading through and taking them on board. Alice and Ruby are the only two family names but I agree with several of the posters that they don’t flow as well as some of the other options.

I’m currently leaning towards Clara Madeleine (which is also a close friends name which is nice!) and I was glad to see that lots of posters seemed to agree that this is a good pick!

You could always have more than one middle name :) My daughter has two. That way you could include a family name as well without it sounding too much of a run on from Clara.

Clara Madeleine Ruby N. is nice :)

Congrats on the little one by the way!
