4 months to choose, baby has a gender now!
So, these are some names I like, I'm looking for other name suggestion, and especially combo ideas.
Clementine
Concordia
Drusilla
Harriet
Iantha
Imogen
Jael
Leonie
Millicent
Olwen
Orla
Wilhelmina
I don't like anything very popular, or else Penelope would also be on this list.
Baby will be joining big brother "Trey" Terry Lee and big sister Amarantha Lucille Carys.

Do you want combos from this list only, or single names from your list with mns that we suggest?
Harriet and Imogen are the stand-outs for me, and either would be good with your existing kids. I'd scrap Concordia, Jael and Orla without a backward glance.
I've always enjoyed Harriet Daisy, but Harriet Leonie would be interesting.

I adore Leonie! I'd use it if I could. :-) I tend to prefer it with a C mn:
Leonie Claire
Leonie Catherine
Leonie Corinne
Leonie Cassandra
Leonie Charlotte
Leonie Caroline
Leonie Christina
Other suggestions:
Leonie Marigold
Leonie Juliette
Leonie Madeleine
Leonie Marielle
Leonie Susanna
Clementine, Millicent and Wilhelmina aren't usually my style, however, I appreciate the quirkiness of each.
Other fn suggestions to complement Amarantha:
Theodora
Thea
Callista
Daphne
Helena
Indira
Louisa
Ophelia
Rosalie
Veronica
BTW, Amarantha is so lush and intriguing! Does she have a nn?

Of these, I like: Millicent.
I agree with others there's an issue with Amarantha being very expansive and floral and glamorous, and most of the names on this list seem more demure and cerebral, and less powerful. I would want to avoid a name that seemed homely next to an elder sister Amarantha (YMMV). (What do you call Amarantha? Does she have a familiar nickname? Or is she Lucy or something? if so then it does not matter as much)
Millicent Linnea Maeve
Clementine Cecily Jael
My suggestions, names I think can compete with Amarantha:
Ginevra
Xanthe
.... woah, Valentina is #129? *closes mouth* Too bad.
Valeriana
Melisende (Mel-ih-sənd in English) - a glammier form of Millicent
Andromeda
Calanthia
Theodora
Marcellina / Marcelline
Damiana
Tatiana
Callista
Phaedra
Sapphira
Apollonia
Genevieve

Most of these look very frumpy compared to Amarantha, which is really lovely. I like Iantha, but it's too matchy with Amarantha. Imogene is nice and I have a soft spot for Orla. The rest aren't my style but may pair well as a middle name so not so dowdy next to big sister's name.
Orla June
Orla Tamsin
Orla Winifred
Orla Wilhelmina
Imogene Drusilla
Imogene Lark
Imogene Leonie
Imogene Callista
Other names to consider
Cosima
Dorcas
Linnea
Juniper
Aleta
Beatrix
Dorothea
Orla June
Orla Tamsin
Orla Winifred
Orla Wilhelmina
Imogene Drusilla
Imogene Lark

My fave from these is definitely Imogen.
Ianthe is lovely, Harriet and Millicent are okay but nothing special, and the rest trail dismally off until you get to Concordia and Drusilla at the bottom. One is a huge aeroplanes and over-the-top wanna-be-vampire Goth.
I'd be really annoyed if I got a name like that and my sister was named something as beautiful as Amarantha.
Other name suggestions:
Adeline
Avalon
Bethan
Calanthe
Calla
Celeste
Elodie
Estelle
Jasmine
Kerensa
Lavender
Linnet
Lyra
Sariah
Seren
Tanith
Vashti
Combos. Are you looking for two middle names or one? I've done one cos I'm not very good with two middles:
Imogen Mairi
Imogen Lyra
Imogen Adeline
Imogen Ayla
Iantha Kay
Iantha Jasmine
Iantha Seren
Iantha Marion
Iantha Marianne
