Are these for multiples? Just planning ahead? Or do you already have one (or more) daughter(s) and just want an idea of what works well together?
Assuming you're just planning ahead, a similar sib set like Claire, Emilia and Sophie or Clara, Emeline and Sophie work much better in my mind, and also avoid having two top ten (ok, top 11 LOL) names and one barely in the top 100. I actually love any of those. ;)

Oh, I totally agree with your perception. I always picture a little Italian girl when I hear Sophia ... funny, since I know so many blue-eyed, blond-haired Sophias, given its current popularity. ;)
That's one of the reasons I mentioned Sophie as an alternative. Not nearly as popular, and much less linked to a certain ethnicity if you KWIM. I can easily picture Sophie fitting a dark- or light-haired child/adult, and it has more of a French or English vibe than anything, so it seems a bit more mainstream as far as image goes.
Some others that might have a similar sound/feel as Sophia, Emilie/Emily and Claire:
Seraphina/Serafina (if you're into nns, Sera, Seri, Fina or even Sadie work here)
Seraphine
Sapphira (sa-FI-ra ... long "i")
Saphira (sa-FEER-a)
Sonya/Sonja (lesser-used forms of Sophia)
Savarra
Claribel/Clarabel
Clarice (said Claire-is or kla-REES)
Clarissa
Clara
Emilia
Emeline/Emmeline (mentioned these last three in my previous post)
Emelina
Amelia
Amelie (ah-me-LEE ... almost like Emily with an "ah" beginning)
Amalia (ah-MAH-lia)
Chloe
Daphne
Phoebe
Penelope
Pearl
Ruby
Isadora/Isidora

They work extremely well together, although I do think Sophie works a bit better than Sophia. I would definitely spell it Emily though- Emilie just looks confusing. Keep it simple.

I like Claire, Amelia and Sophie.
I love your taste in names BTW!

In principal I agree that you should choose between -ie or -a endings. but if you go with the Claire, Amelia, Sophie grouping, I don't find that Amelia has the same latin "feel". Of course the Amelia could be changed to Amelie or Emmeline. I just prefer Amelia to Emmeline personally.
