You have several great combos!

My choices are based off not wanting a repeat C name and not wanting the sounds to be too similar (eg Clara and Rory/Lachlan/Jonah) but these may not concern you, and obviously don’t! But my faves (with my own idiosyncrasies but also to flow to your last name) are:

Fave: Theo Joseph or Leo Joseph if your last name starts wth H. Actually I’m not as sure about the O ending nane eitg your last name…so maybe my runner up:
Runner up: Will Joseph (but I do also objectively like Rory and Lachlan as names.)
Least faves: Miles and Jonah

Fave: Zoe Grace
Runner up: Josie Kate
Least faves: Mae and Freya (rhyme with last name and Freya slightly too close to Clara for me)

narrowing down from multiple options:
leo joseph
theo macleod
jonah forest
rory joseph

violet eve
zoe grace
lily joy
mae juliet

it’s a no from me:
jonah thomas - not a great flow to my ears
calvin joseph - i have a beef with calvin and it’s meaning

zoe autumn - i love autumn, but i’m a firm believer on it being an autumn name :laughing:
mae isobel - not a great flow, especially if mae is similar to the surname as well
juliet joy - too heavy on the J for me

personal picks:
miles joseph
jonah forest
lachlan joseph - favorite!

lucy joy - favorite!
rosalie may
thea grace

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u] MacLeod

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Thea[/name_f] but may be too close in sound to [name_f]Clara[/name_f]?

[name_f]My[/name_f] top two are:

[name_u]Rory[/name_u] Macleod :heart: → this is so rugged and gorgeous; I love the unexpectedness of Macleod and the sweet, earthy [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] / [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] have a nice ring!

[name_u]Zoe[/name_u] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] :maple_leaf:-> bright, warm and lively - the sweet, sassy [name_u]Zoe[/name_u] with the cosy, red and gold vibes of [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] runners up:

Not sure if it’s helpful, but I love these ones too, so I have to put in a good word for them :grin:

[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_u]Forest[/name_u] → gentle and earthy and outdoorsy

[name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] → slightly regal, handsome and charming, but with freshness too

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] → joyful, sparkly, and bright!

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] → bubbly, frilly and sparkly - fun but elegant

I'd eliminate

Again, not sure if this is helpful, but these are the ones I wouldn’t choose (since you’ve got so many lovely options):

[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] and [name_u]Callum[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] (Clara and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] aren’t unusable together by any means, but they share too many sounds for my tastes, and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] just doesn’t hold the charm for me; [name_u]Callum[/name_u] is gorgeous, but again, too close to [name_f]Clara[/name_f] for my personal tastes)

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (it’s a nice name, but for me, it doesn’t sparkle like your other choices, doesn’t have that slightly vintage charm - plus, all those ‘a’ sounds with your surname)

ah, sorry! Does it work if you click on the arrows or is it still just showing a blank? (just to see if it needs reporting!)

[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_u]Forest[/name_u] is my favorite of the boy names. It is harder to chose for the girls, but maybe [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f].
