I’m not sure how “correct” you want the names to be, however, in some cases the -a ending didn’t show up until much later in [name_u]Germany[/name_u] (Josefina, [name_f]Eleonora[/name_f], [name_f]Marianna[/name_f], [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f], Cecilia).
Keeping that in mind and because short names where all the rage at the time, I’d go with…

[name_u]Wolf[/name_u] [name_m]Benedikt[/name_m] & [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] / [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f]

[name_u]Wolf[/name_u] [name_m]Benedikt[/name_m] and [name_f]Klara[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] or [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Luise[/name_f]

I wonder what was more used, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_f]Klara[/name_f]?

Likely both, sometimes even by the same people (literacy wasn’t super great at the time), however, if your character is an aristocrat, I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be used as it’s the Latin spelling.

Oh! That is interesting. Again, sorry if I ask, was [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] used as this spelling? And would [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Liselotte[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f] work realistically?

[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] would have been in use, definitely.
[name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f] would have likely been used as a nickname rather than a full name whereas [name_f]Lieselotte[/name_f] only gained usage in the 1910s and was popular during the 1920s; so a very uncommon choice for a girl born between 1890 and 1910.
However, it would make sense if the character had family members called [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] which the parents wanted to honour with the name.
