Hi! This is yet another post for a friend of mine- she has a daughter named Claire Marie (which she admires due to the French background of both names) and is having another girl. She basically has no clue what to name her; the only name that she likes- loves, more like- is Ava, but she’s not sure. She doesn’t know what her taste in names is like, so it’s going to be very broad. From what I’ve caught on, she doesn’t like it if they’re too long (Elizabeth), too neutral (Avery, Easton, Elliot) or if they’re too wildly out there. Fern was suggested and she said she liked it but shows no further interest 
I apologize for such vague guidelines, but please don’t be afraid to put down anything that pops into mind. TIA!

I was going to say I think Ava would go great with Claire and this combo is stunning indeed!
I love the [name_u]French[/name_u] feel

Okay, I sent her a bulk of the suggestions this morning and she responded big:
Madeline (long “i” sound, doesn’t like Maddie as a nickname, but loves Madeline itself)
Lena (Lee-nah), Chloe, Thea (pronounced "[soft ‘th’] thee-ah)
Nina (although she finds it cutesy)
Esther, Celeste (a bit too bulky in appearance for her, but sounds dreamy)
Lila (really pretty, but would prefer something with a long “e” sound)
Sophie, Laila/Layla (more like what she’s looking for)
Gianna
Lily (too common, prefers double “L”, likes the idea of Lilla more)
Belle (Bella too cutesy by itself but finds both Bella and Belle beautiful)
Paige (not entirely sure if it’s too close to use for a child right next to Claire; will hold onto it for a future child)
Juliet/Joliet (she has three nieces named Juliet, Violet, and Julie)
Mila, Elodie
Adele (prefers Nell, Dell, or Adella)
Lucy (doesn’t know how much she likes it, but she finds appeal in it)
Valerie, Anna, Daniela (loves)
Now for the combos:
Lina Camille (she loves Camille but feels like something else would go while using Lina as a nickname, like Felicity)
Mila Rose (love! Just not sure if it’s the one)
Margo Louise (super cute and sweet, which is interesting because she usually thinks of Louise as just okay)
Juliet Lorraine (again, loves, but- also a repeat- Claire’s cousin is Juliet)
Jolie Corinne (finds stunning, but also close to Juliet)
Bridget Noelle (finds it beautiful, if a bit stiff- likes the sound of “Bridge” as a nickname or something of the sort, but not completely down with Bridget)
Ava Colette (she finds this to be absolute PERFECTION, but wants another two combos to hold on to unless it doesn’t work out with the baby.)

Thank you guys for all of the suggestions! You all have definitely helped her out a lot by taking this on, and she appreciates all of your guys’ efforts beyond words. She’ll be pondering for the next few months on this list, and she’s keeping a tight hold on Ava Colette. xx Thank you, again! Feel free to drop any more ideas that correlates with this rundown (particularly names that feel like Ava Colette 
)
Maybe [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Claudette[/name_f] or [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u]
