Nora and Clara are also pretty, but maybe a bit too similar to Thea.
Emmaline and Delilah are fine. The huge popularity of Emma and the trendiness of Delilah (thanks to that song) put me off a bit, but they're fine (though I do prefer Emmeline).
I agree with everyone that Hadley is the bottom of this list.
Felicity - Love it! This was on my list if this LO is another girl.
Clara - eh, ok
Emmaline - This one is just ok in my book too
Beatrice - Not a fan
Nora - Seems to be gaining popularity and it's just ok
Delilah - This is DD #1's name so naturally my favorite
Hadley - I like it for a little girl, but don't feel like it will age as well
For the longer (3+ syllable names) though I think a short (1 syllable) MN would be best since they tend to be longer. Some ideas June, Claire, Jane, Grace, Rose, Mae. FOr Nora and Hadley I like Elizabeth as a middle name.
I see that Felicity is a favorite and Hadley is a no-go to most of you. The more I think about it, the more I think Nora and Clara should be bumped off the list. I have always loved the name Nora but I just can't see having a little Nora running around with our Thea. It just doesn't fit. I feel the same way about the name Clara too but it's still such a nice name I don't know if I can let it go.
I like most of your list! Love Felicity, Clara, and Delilah. I also like Nora. Not a fan of Hadley...it just sounds a little more trendy. I think Felicity is probably my favorite on your list.
From your list I really love Felicity, then Clara. Emmaline would be my next choice, though I prefer it spelled Emmeline.
Beatrice, Nora and Delilah are all nice, but nms. I dislike Hadley, and it feels a little out of place to me among your other names.

Re: Need help with our 2nd girl.
I love your DD's name!
Felicity - Cute, like it with the sibset. My favorite from your list.
Clara - pretty name. Second favorite on your list.
Emmaline - eh, don't like this one.
Beatrice - I think it pulls the sibset 'old' not 'cute & spunky'
Nora - not a fan
Delilah - no real opinion on it. don't dislike it, but I'm not drawn to it.
Hadley - I have an irrational fiery hate for this girl's name.
Felicity - like
Clara - it's ok
Emmaline - it's ok
Beatrice - like
Nora - love
Delilah - dislike
Hadley - dislike very much
Felicity and Emmaline are my favorites.
Clara, Beatrice, Nora, and Delilah are all nice and perfectly good names too.
Really really dislike Hadley. Especially compared to the rest of your list.
I like Felicity and Beatrice with Thea.
Nora and Clara are also pretty, but maybe a bit too similar to Thea.
Emmaline and Delilah are fine. The huge popularity of Emma and the trendiness of Delilah (thanks to that song) put me off a bit, but they're fine (though I do prefer Emmeline).
I agree with everyone that Hadley is the bottom of this list.

D 2.20.2011 & Z 7.16.2013
Felicity - Not really my style, but a very pretty and underused name. Cute with your DD.
Clara - Love this. Stunning with Thea!
Emmaline - Also very pretty! Love it!
Beatrice - This one is a little too old lady for my taste, but it's a perfectly fine name.
Nora - Very pretty!
Delilah - It sounds pretty, I just can only think of "Hey there, Delilah" and the Delilah from the Bible who was not someone to be named after!
Hadley - This one sticks out like a sore thumb from the other pretty names on your list. It's not feminine and it's trendy.
I really like Beatrice with your DD's name. I think the rest of the names are nice, as well, but Beatrice is my favorite.
Clara: okay, but not my style
Emmaline: pretty, my favorite from your list
Beatrice: makes me think of old people, but that might just be because I only know old people with that name
Nora: okay, but not my style
Delilah: eh, makes me think of Delilah and Sampson
Hadley: I absolutely hate this name. It sounds made up, ugly, and masculine to me, and I will never understand why it's suddenly so trendy.
I like her name the best too that's why it got used first Thank you though, I appreciate the compliments.
Thank you for all the input and suggestions!

We'll see I guess!
I love Beatrice! Clara is also pretty.
Clara Elizabeth or Clara Mae
Beatrice Ann or Beatrice Claire
Felicity - Love it!
Clara - Love it!
Emmaline - I prefer Emmeline.
Beatrice - Love it!
Nora - Love it!
Delilah - Love it, but not paired with Thea.
Hadley - Like it, but not paired with Thea.
Great list, OP!
