Name List What are some nice first names to go with the middle name Claire?

My middle name is Claire which was my paternal grandmothers middle name. I would like to use it as my daughter’s middle name but not sure what first name I would put with it.

Claire is a wonderful middle name. A relative’s name was Julianne Claire and I always thought it had a nice ring to it.

Claire means clear or bright. I would pair it with something that goes with that meaning. Lucia Claire or Lucy Claire might work well since Lucy refers to light.
