Emilia or Eliza would be best, so that none of the kids begin with the same letter, which I always like.

I think Leah is lovely. I’ve always really liked it.From your list I like Lydia and Emilia.Lydia was a favourite of mine for years, but I’m not loving it as much as I used to. It’s still a good name though. Emilia is one I adore. I think it’s gorgeous.Lillian is pretty, but I don’t love it. Lucy is cute but NMS. I prefer Lucia.
I have never cared for Alexis or Eliza. I much prefer Elizabeth over Eliza. Eliza is just not pretty sounding to me. HTH :)

Lydia was hands down my favourite girls name 4 years ago when I had my youngest son. Hubby didn’t like it but he was a boy anyway.A few weeks ago we used an app that is like tinder for names and we matched on a half a dozen names and Lydia was one of them!However I just don’t feel the same love any more I don’t quite know why!

I love Alexis, but not Lexi, and it does kind of sound stumbly with Smith.Lucia?Lila?Layla?Lillian might sound a bit matchy-matchy with Lachlan.

I like all, except for Alexis. Lucy and Emilia are my favorites. :)

I'd look no further than Lucy, though I might consider Alexa rather than Alexis: it's uncompromisingly female and doesn't end in -s.

Lucy, Lillian and Lydia are all gorgeous, as I just mentioned below! I also wondered whether you had considered Lilia? I'd prefer Amelia to Emilia, just looks nicer to me. Eliza is nice, but Eliza Smith doesn't exactly roll off the tongue for me, nor does Alexis Smith or Lexie Smith. Lucy, Lydia or Amelia would be my choices.

I would avoid any names ending in -s. My favorite from your list is by far Emilia, followed by Lydia and Eliza.
I think Leah, Lucy, Emilia, Eliza and Lexie would work best with your childrens names if that's important to you.

Personally I would avoid using an L name, since you already have one. Emilia goes nicely with the surname and is my favourite from the list. I like Lucy also if you don't mind doubling up on L names. Eliza fits well with the other siblings, but sounds bland with the surname. Alexis doesn't flow well with surname. Lexie is better but rather nicknamey. Some other suggestions:Aliyah
Cassandra
Elena
Eliana
Imogen
Julia
Leona - if you don't mind another L
Madeline
Maya
Michaela
Rosalie
Rose
Thalia / Talia / Tahlia
Zara
ZoeGood luck!

I love Lucy, Lillian, and Lydia. They are all pretty popular, but if you don't care about that, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. I dislike Emilia because of the "meel" sound, I don't like Eliza as a full name, and I really dislike Alexis and Lexie.

Lucy is fairly popular here, and I’ve seen one or two Lydias but I am yet to hear of a Lillian! Lily yes, very popular. Lillian is my Nan’s middle name. I just don’t know if it’s a bit too old

I don't think it's too old at all. If you go with it, be prepared for her to get the nickname Lily. I personally like Lily, but if you don't, I wouldn't do Lillian.
