Claire and Natalie are beautiful. This entire list doesn't nearly compare to your daughter's names. I'm sorry, I don't like any names on your list. Some great suggestions are sure to come.
Ditto what PPs have said - your list names are subpar in comparison to DDs names. How about: Georgia, Liana, Phoebe, Eva, Holly, Rosa, Alexa, Vera, Nora, Violet, Adele, Stella, Ruby, Marcy, Zoe, Dora, Lydia, Jasmine. Good luck!
Harper and Piper are adorable but way overdone. For classic names I like Ruby, Amelia and Jane. For more unisex or rare let's say, Emerson is nice and I like Sterling ( this is in my personal top 2)
Just want to say that Emerson (though has been seen more on girls lately) is Not a unisex or even remotely feminine name. The other ones I will keep my mouth shut on but that one just bugs me. And the PP suggestion of sterling kind of goes into the 'fails in comparison' category compared to your other two daughters names.
I agree with PPs that a classic name or even one that's more common but also a bit more feminine would work so well with your other girls, their names are so beautiful.
So how about (and there may be some repeats): Amelia Jane Katherine Brooke Elise Julia/Julianna Lila Joanne/Joanna Renee Meredith Abigail Can't think of any more right now I'm too tired.
Sorry if I came off as harsh but I think the names you listed just kind of lack something next to your other girls names.
Now we're talking. That's much better. I like Elizabeth better than Eliza, but Eliza trumps all the names on your list. Ava is lovely, popular, but still lovely.
Claire and Natalie are lovely! None of these other names stack up. Most are masculine or surname-y. Others, like Piper and Haley, don't fit the style of Claire and Natalie. Eliza is gorgeous!
Harper and Piper are adorable but way overdone. For classic names I like Ruby, Amelia and Jane. For more unisex or rare let's say, Emerson is nice and I like Sterling ( this is in my personal top 2)
Emerson and Sterling are not unisex. They are one hundred percent masculine.
^^ also pretty sure sterling is not only a type of silver, but a name for a young male horse and a truck/trailer/automotive company. You don't want that for a little girl.
Love Claire and Natalie but I agree this list doesn't have names as great as those. Both of your existing names have French roots without being overtly French, so here are a few ideas that go with that trend if you like it:

Well I suppose I am drawn to masculine name then. Although Sterling just has this beautiful ring in my opinion and I like some names that are surprising.

100% agreed. Claire and Natalie are classic and beautiful. Your list is either trendy, masculine, or dated.
Anna, Eleanor, Amelia, Grace, Hazel, Lucy, Ruby, Stella, Victoria
Stick with classic names to match your other daughters. Eliza is my favorite to go with Claire and Natalie. Previous posters have given many other great suggestions too (e.g. Victoria, Anna, Amy, Renee, Julia, Meredith, Brooke, Elise, Jane, etc.).
Please burn that original list you posted. Seriously, all of them were terrible (except maybe Sloane, but I still don't like it with your other daughters names).
HAha! This is funny, I love the "burn the list!" Ok, fair I asked for opinions! Right now, I really want Lola, as a nickname somehow...not sure how that will work. Or Blake as a middle name for her ( my husbands name) so I am still working on it! Interestingly, my hubs likes Sloane and Harper the most. I guess time will tell!
And this is in general not just towards you, I don't get people who want to use their husbands name as a daughters middle name. Daughter will have his last name anyway (like 95% of the time) why do you need to double up on honor names? Why not honor a female relative instead?
in my case , my maiden name is the same as my married ( very common last name) and i already honored a family member with DD 2 name. So that is my case....i like the name too!
@rickey, Lola is a diminutive of Dolores... or you could just name her Lola, if you know that's what you want to call her. Lola Blake could be cute. Personally, I do not care for Blake for a girl (it's masculine not unisex) but I suppose as a middle name to honor your husband would trump that.
Curious what your husband's middle name is? Just wondering if a feminine version of his middle name would be better than Blake...
