Opinions on these names?
So my boyfriend and I know we want to get married and he says if he has a son he definitely wants to give him the middle name Leonard after his grandfather, an avid painter (my boyfriend and his family members all have dozens of his paintings throughout their houses) and the man who began his family's business. I have a few favorite first names, which do you think sounds best with Leonard? And if it helps, the last name would be 2 syllables and it sounds similar to "fresh pick".
William Leonard
Benjamin Leonard
Henry Leonard
Feel free to suggest other fns as well. For those that you don't think pair so well with Leonard, what are some good mns?
For a girl we like:
Rachel Anne
Clara (mn suggestions?)
Other names that give the same vibe as Rachel and Clara?
William Leonard
Benjamin Leonard
Henry Leonard

William Leonard is my favorite out of the three, but Benjamin Leonard is a close second.Henry Leonard is okay but sounds rather dated.
Other boy first names that have a similar traditional feel: Edward, Patrick, Matthew, Christopher, Simon, Eric, Andrew, Robert, Daniel, David, Frederick.
Between Rachel and Clara, I favor Clara.
Clara Anne
Clara Elizabeth
Clara Danielle
Clara Regina
Clara Marie
Clara Louise
Clara Victoria
Clara Simone
Clara Isabella
Clara Beatrix

William Leonard - I really like this. William is very popular but with good reason I think. I love Leonard.
Benjamin Leonard - I do like it but not as much as William.
Henry Leonard - Like it a lot, but is Henry getting trendy? I think William is less likely to date, but Henry is really cute too.
I think Charles Leonard, Peter Leonard, and James Leonard are nice and fit in with your choices.
Rachel Anne - I really, strongly dislike the name Rachel. It seems so... bossy and gossipy, if a name can seem that way. Plus I don't enjoy the sound. Rachel Anne together is predictable. Anne Rachel or Anna Rachel would be nicer.
Clara (mn suggestions?) - I like Clara but I do think it's very "now," so I prefer Claire. It's nice, though.
Clara Josephine
Clara Margaret
Clara Beatrice

William Leonard sounds best; Benjamin and Henry are fine names, but the en sound paired with Leonard doesn't make them sound as good as William Leonard.
Thomas, James, John, Charles, all have the same vibe.
Rachel Anne is my pick; it's not a favorite, but Clara is a maid's name. Rebecca, Michelle, Katherine and Laura all have the same vibe to me as Rachel.
