I much prefer Claire but I don't think people would nn her Claire if her name was clara. I see them as 2 different stand alone names. I love Sloane but it doesn't sound old fashioned to me at all. I think it is spelled with an e on the end.
Suggesting Caroline Eden (nn Edi) Edna Ivy Ingrid Patsy Beatrice Anne Harriett Della Frida Tilda (Nn Tilly)
I love Clara, and it wouldn't get nicknamed Claire. Sloane should have the e but I do not like that half as much and it seems rhymey with Leona. I think these would be great with Leona
I really, really like the suggestion of Rosalind (l like that they are different but are both old fashioned and have the long O sound in them). Eloise is too close to Leona. How about:
Aster Martha Cornelia Hazel Alma Opal Imogen Adela Olive
