my shortlist right now is clara, margot, lilia, and cleo. For middles I like elle, jolie, and sloan. I am mostly into old/elegant names some others I was considering but ultimately decided against are eloise, daphne, valerie, and beatrice (nn bea). I am also open to gender bender names especially for middle names. I am open to suggestions but am mostly trying to narrow down my options. my partner and I also cant come up with any first middle pairs we love.
Your list is lovely! [name_f][/name_f] I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is a solid list and if you feel like one of these could be the one, no need to look further imo! [name_f][/name_f] I’m more than happy to suggest middles [name_f][/name_f]- what about:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Sloane[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] Valerie/Cleo [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] (or even [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] Valentina?)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Arden[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Arden[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
Good luck!
I think you should decide between the similar’ish [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- do you want upbeat, artsy and unique [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] or a little more reserved and literary/refined, [name_f]Clara[/name_f]? I’m personally keener on [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] but I can see Clara’s appeal. There’s also the Frenchie & balletic [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] as a merge of the two.
[name_f][/name_f]I like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] but feel like it’s had a big run over the last 5-10 years. What about Marlowe/ [name_m]Marlo[/name_m] which is a blend of [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]? [name_m]Or[/name_m] there’s [name_f]Marnie[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], Marcy). [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] would be beautiful.
[name_f][/name_f]One of the most prominent posters on here has a [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], and it’s a very lovely, enchanting name. I think its only downside [name_f][/name_f]- and I say this as it applies to my daugter, [name_f]Willa[/name_f] too [name_f][/name_f]- is that there are a lot of girls under 10 with short, L heavy (and usually A ending) names [name_f][/name_f]- like [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lilla[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Milla[/name_f], [name_f]Luella[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] etc. These and the “Belle” names (Isabel, [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] etc) have really dominated the last decade or so of naming so if you want a name that is a little less popular, I wouldn’t go for an L heavy name. [name_m]Or[/name_m] maybe something more masc like [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] nn [name_f]Elle[/name_f]? But either way, just be warned re the deluge of L names!
[name_f][/name_f]How about:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Hollis[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Tierney[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_m]Jude[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilla[/name_f] [name_f]Haven[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_m]Sterling[/name_m]
I prefer a vowel ending of first to go into a consonant starting middle especially with shorter names [name_f][/name_f]- eg [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elle[/name_f] doesn’t work imo.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- sweet but sparky with no-fuss elegance and charm. Not sure it works perfectly with your current middle options, but [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m] would be my pick from them.
[name_f][/name_f]A few middle suggestions: [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Josette[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Adair[/name_m], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Jude[/name_m], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Maeva[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Darcy[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Elara[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] would also work well 
I love your name style !!
[name_f][/name_f]From your names, the combos I would come up with would be
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
If I have to pick a face from your top 4 I think I might choose [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] !!
[name_f][/name_f]I rarely see her being used, and it’s been a name I’ve loved myself for so long, so I just love seeing it be a serious contender !!
nice list! I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] best of the options.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combinations would be [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_m]Sloan[/name_m] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is actually [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] was one of my very top names for a next child (until my niece [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] was born haha). [name_f]Margot[/name_f] was also one of my favorites before then! All great names! Our daughter [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is 3.5, and we still absolutely love her name
