Help me pick a middle name! I’m so close

Hi everyone. Apologies for all the posts about the same names, I’ve been posting similar combos over and over this week. But I’m sooo close to picking the middle name that I just want to make a decision.
The first and last name are already final, all that’s left is the middle name!

The name: [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]

Middle name options:
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]

At a glance, I know that [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] flows a lot better. But I also love the versatility of using [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] can stand alone great as a first and middle name. I would even feel comfortable using [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] as a first name when I wanted ([name_f]Cassie[/name_f]). I also think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] is more “princessy” and less laid back than [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f], if that makes sense. For [name_f]Luna[/name_f], it would only be used as a middle name. It also bothers me how popular [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is getting. [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] is a lot more uncommon and I like that. I love how it means cinnamon. The triple C is also satisfying. But I do love how “claire luna” is like “clair de lune” (moonlight in french).
I’m so conflicted. Your thoughts would be much appreciated!

I actually think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] flows better despite the triple Cs. [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]’s -lina ending are too repeating, imo.

Claire [name_f]Luna[/name_f] makes me think of Debussy’s [name_u]Clair[/name_u] de [name_f]Lune[/name_f] so the combo sounds magical to me!

Claire [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_u]Clair[/name_u] de lune is also a great association!

I really like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]. The alteration makes for a memorable name and I think it works very well in this combo.

I prefer the sound of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f], though pretty and magical, sounds too trendy for you.

I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f], they flow well together

I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] I think it’s lovely and I actually like the alliteration of all three c names it’s sweet.

My first name is [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] AND I’m a big fan of alliteration- so I’m biased to [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]!

I do love the name [name_f]Luna[/name_f] as well, but it does feel a bit trendier given the increasing popularity. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] feels more spunky than [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], which I agree is a bit more princessy and flowy.

I get a lot of compliments on my name and it has built in nicknames ([name_u]Cass[/name_u], and [name_f]Cassie[/name_f]) that [name_f]Claire[/name_f] doesn’t have on its own. You could also use the nickname [name_f]Cece[/name_f]/CC because of the alliteration!

My favorite is [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]. :heart_eyes:

Claire [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] flows better, I think. It seems like you really love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] works too. Honestly, any of the three in any order would sound fabulous!

If you are considering only one middle, I think [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] gives that princess vibe while [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] really lets [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] shine.
