Sibling for Graham?

Hi everyone! I've lurked for quite awhile here and I love hearing what y'all have to say. I'm about 6 weeks pregnant (obviously very early, but I'm kind of a name nerd so already looking at options). DS 1 is Graham Stuart (MN is after my dad). For a boy, I think we're pretty set on Reid Archer (MN is a family name). For a girl, I'm loving Iris. How do you feel about Iris Anneliese? Practically every female in my family has the middle name Anne, but I'd like to use a variant of it to honor them rather than the actual name. Others we are considering are Amelia (DH loves, but I'm concerned about popularity), as well as Clara (same issue with popularity). I'm looking for classic, easily recognizable names, but yet I don't want her to be one of many in her class, either. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions? ETA sorry for the lack of paragraphs!

    Please do not use Anneliese. It makes me think Anal Ease. I am sorry.

    I don't love how they sound together. I think Iris Claire sounds great. For variants of Anne, what about Annette?

    I hate the name Anneliese.  It's so fussy-- Ivy Anne is gorgeous.

    If you are looking for a variant, there's Annette, Ana, Antoinette, Marianne, Annabel...
