Help me name Charlotte and Henry's baby sister

in Baby Names
Names we've been tossing around include Margot (Margo?), Piper, Josephine/Josie, Camille, and Julia.  Thoughts?  Additional suggestions?  Here's the kicker -- our last name is a mouthful to say the least.  Very German, very gutteral, tons of consonants, often mispronounced.  Just so you get the general idea, let's say its Shwartzenegger.

Note:  We really like Margot/Margo, but our last name has a hard "g" in it.  Too much "g"?

    I like Margot Shwartzeneggar. I don't think you have too much 'G' going on.

    I like Margot, Camille, and Piper best.

    I personally would pick a softer first name if it's a very gutteral last name, but i like feminine-sounding names. I think Julia is really pretty.

    Alice 
    Catherine 
    Anna 
    Violet 
    Ada 
    Clara 
     Diana 
    Dahlia

    Of your choices, I think Margot goes nicely with your sibset and I don't think it's too much.

    I really like Josephine and Julia. Margo(t) would be nice too, I think it would sound fine with a Schwartzenneger-like last name.

    Love your first two kiddos' names:)  They are both soft and beautiful sounding. Of your choices, I think Camille and Julia seem like a similar style.  Other names with a similar style might be Norah or Laura (Laurel?)?

    How about Elizabeth or Katherine?

    Both of those work well with your last name and with Charlotte and Henry.

    Margot - It's ok. NMS.
    Piper - I dislike Piper a whole lot.
    Josephine - Love Josephine. Not a fan of Josie as a nn.
    Camille - Like.
    Julia - Like. Like Juliet even more.

    With Henry and Charlotte, I think I like Josephine the best from your choices. The name Alexandra came to mind though.

    I love Julia the best.  Obviously I like Camille as well (since that's dd's name) but I'm not sure the soft French name will go well with a hard German ln.  Without knowing your ln, it's hard to say though.

    Piper doesn't seem to go well with your other 2 children's names.

    Margot is lovely; a perfect compliment to the sibset not do I think it is to much with the LN.

    Josephine is also a great option.

    I would eliminate Camille so you don't have two C names, even though the sounds are different.

    ETA: Also like Victoria with your sibset.
