  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 like Clara a lot, and don't think it would automatically be shortened to Claire.

  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 have a Maxine who was almost a Lydia. Love those suggestions! I guess since my Maxine is 2 I didn't process it as old ladyish.

  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
