What are some of your favorite three or four syllable names for girls?

My husband and I are 95% set on Claire for our first daughter's first name, and I think Claire sounds best with a middle name that is three or four syllables long (especially with our two syllable last name). Right now, the frontrunner is Eloise, but it isn't my husband's favorite.

I'm looking for something classic, but different.

Thanks!

I met a little Claire Victoria one day and thought her name was so striking, I still remember it. I also know a Claire Isabelle though personally, I'm sick to death of the name Isabelle.

I'm a big fan of the shorter names, so I think that Eleanor is the only longer girl name that I like.
