I love [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] and I love the tie between sisters whilst still leaving choices for future kids.
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] is by far my favourite name on this list. There’s just something about it. [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] is a close second, though the similarity to popular [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] makes me wonder if [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] would often be confused for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. Similar situation with [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] though I love the look of that name.
If you’re wanting a definite Italian name, I would use the loo-chee-uh pronunciation for [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], although both are nice. I’d also steer clear of [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] only because I doubt most people would think of it as being an Italian name.
I don’t have any strong opinions on the others on this list.
I adore [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] - it’s stunning
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (Loo-chee-uh) and [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] are lovely too 
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] are some more , but I’m not sure they’re your style
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] really jumps out to me as a sister to [name_f]Willow[/name_f]!
I love [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] - unexpected and distinctive! The shared double L with sister [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is a lovely, subtle link.
I really like [name_f]Amara[/name_f], and I like [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] too.
I really love [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], and I think it sounds beautiful with your daughter’s name!
And for [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (another beautiful name), I prefer the loo-chee-a pronunciation.
I voted for [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] because I think it is lovely and underused. The only person I know with the name pronounced it loo-sha (2 syllables). I also like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f].
I voted for [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] because I think it looks and sounds lovely. Also like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Amara[/name_f], and [name_f]Eva[/name_f].
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] reminds me of an allergy medication, although I did know a girl with this name in high school and she wore it well.
My grandmother was [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (Loo-sha) so I have a hard time pronouncing it any other way
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is a good top choice, however; I’d be aware of its popularity and that of sisters [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] if I were you. For that reason, I recommend choosing a unique nickname such as [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmy[/name_f], or just using the full name.
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] is a nice name, but it’s not my style. Go for it if you really love it though.
I personally prefer the Loo-see-ah pronunciation with being a Hispanophile and all, but Loo-chee-ah is the correct Italian way. It’s a nice name.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is dated from a UK perspective, though it’s never been popular here in the US. It feels like it is due to all the [name_f]Emma[/name_f]'s roaming around. I’d steer clear if I were you.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f] is quite nice, it’s hard to go wrong with this one. Good choice!
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] is lovely, but all the [name_f]Ava[/name_f]'s and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]'s running around bring down its value. It’s still a solid choice.
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] is great. If you’re in the US, she’d probably experience many spelling and pronunciation issues due to the high popularity of related [name_f]Camila[/name_f].
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] is another good choice. It’s not as flowing as the others, but it’s still quite feminine, would recommend.
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f] personally doesn’t appeal, I prefer [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (though it’s not Italian) and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f].
Suggestions:
[name_f]Lucilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelina[/name_f]
I adore the simple, timeless sophistication of [name_f]Eva[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Willow[/name_f]’s sister needs something a bit bolder and quirkier. I love [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] from your list! [name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] or [name_f]Elettra[/name_f]?
I am all about [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]. I think they are so lovely together. If there was an option to choose more than one, I would have also chosen [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], they are tied for me, but Iwanted to show [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] some love because it is less common. I think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] great with [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and I like it more than [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
The rest kind of feel lackluster next to [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]. [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] would be my third choice but every time I suggest it in real life, someone brings up the allergy medication, which annoys me so much because it’s great!
I absolutely adore both [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]! I pronounce it loo-see-uh :).
I love [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], but they seem so, so different from the trendy, nature-y [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
What a beautiful list! I pronounce [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] as Loo-see-a. My favorite names are [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_f]Alessia[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Amara[/name_f] and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]. For [name_f]Willow[/name_f]'s sister, I love [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Amara[/name_f]. I can’t handle so many lovely names! The names with double letters look fantastic next to [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] are very sweet names and they excellent alternatives to [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. It’s great to see [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]! It’s so pretty and so underused…
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] is very interesting! I imagine a very adventurous and brave girl. That’s why I think it is a perfect match for [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. One of the most recent additions to my list.
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] is delicate, elegant and romantic. It’s one of my favorite girl names. I think [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] make an amazing sibset.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f] is a great option too. It’s very internacional, but not extremely popular. I see it as an unexpected name for [name_f]Willow[/name_f]'s sister.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] go very well together. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is a good name, just not my favorite from the list.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] is timeless, an amazing classic name! It’s adorable, but doesn’t match [name_f]Willow[/name_f]'s spunky style in my opinion.
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] is a very energetic and charismatic name. I always picture a joyful and dauntless person. Also a perfect match for [name_f]Willow[/name_f].

From your signature, I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] (but wouldn’t use [name_f]Flora[/name_f] - “plants” - for [name_f]Willow[/name_f]'s sister). I also really like [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] is the perfect sibling to [name_f]Willow[/name_f]! I also like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] with [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] is great as well, but is the “-ill-” sound too prominent in both sisters’ names? Maybe it’s a nice link between the two… I can’t decide.
